palmitic acid + AH2 + O2	Rattus norvegicus	key enzyme required for numerous vital functions involving distinct polyunsaturated fatty acids and polyunsaturated fatty acid-derived bioactive lipids. It seems that the biological importance of DELTA6-desaturase activity should also be considered for its newly identified role in the control of the biosynthesis of a monoenoic fatty acid (C16:1 n-10), particularly in tissues with low DELTA9-desaturase activity	hexadec-6-enoic acid + A + H2O	-	?
