an oleoyl-[glycerolipid] + 2 reduced ferredoxin [iron-sulfur] cluster + O2 + 2 H+ | 18:1 carbon fatty acid is the preferred substrate | Arabidopsis thaliana | a linoleoyl-[glycerolipid] + 2 oxidized ferredoxin [iron-sulfur] cluster + 2 H2O | - |

an palmitoleoyl-[glycerolipid] + 2 reduced ferredoxin [iron-sulfur] cluster + O2 + 2 H+ | the main product arising from desaturation of 16:1(9c) appears to be the 16:2(9,12) isomer and is thus an omega-4 desaturation product rather than an omega-6 desaturation product | Arabidopsis thaliana | a (9Z,12E)-hexadeca-9,12-dienoyl-[glycerolipid] + 2 oxidized ferredoxin [iron-sulfur] cluster + 2 H2O | - |

additional information | the production of the omega-4 product when 16:1(9c) is the available substrate suggests that the enzyme introduces the second double bond in a methylene-interrupted configuration measuring from the first double bond rather than from the methyl end of the fatty acid | Arabidopsis thaliana | ? | - |
