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 ?
