General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
evolution | the enzyme is a member of the large DELTAa9-FADS-like or ADS subfamily found in eukaryotes including vertebrates, insects, higher plants and fungi, as well as a wide range of bacteria. These non-heme, iron-containing, endoplasmic reticulum membrane-bound enzymes exhibit a diversity of subcellular localization, lipid substrate utilization, regiospecificity, and biological function | Limnanthes alba subsp. alba |
metabolism | mapping genes in meadowfoam glucosinolate metabolism, overview | Limnanthes alba subsp. alba |
additional information | meadowfoam seed oil is the richest known source of DELTA5 monounsaturated fatty acids and presently the sole commercial source of DELTA5-unsaturated very long chain fatty acids, a high 20:1DELTA5 phenotype of meadowfoam oil | Limnanthes alba subsp. alba |
