The enzyme, characterized from the plant Crepis alpina, converts the double bond at position 12 of linoleate into a triple bond. The product is the main fatty acid found in triacylglycerols in the seed oil of Crepis alpina.
the microsomal DELTA12-fatty acid desaturase (FAD2) is located in the endoplasmic reticulum and uses phosphatidylcholine as acyl substrate and NADH, NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase, and cytochrome b5 as electron donors. This reaction involves concomitant reduction of molecular oxygen to water. In contrast, the plastidial DELTA12-fatty acid desaturase (FAD6) is located in the chloroplast and uses primarily glycolipids as acyl carriers and NAD(P)H, ferredoxin-NAD(P) reductase, and ferredoxin as electron donors; the microsomal DELTA12-fatty acid desaturase (FAD2) is located in the endoplasmic reticulum and uses phosphatidylcholine as acyl substrate and NADH, NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase, and cytochrome b5 as electron donors.
