malfunction | the lower dienoic acid content of the fadA mutant results in a tolerance of elevated temperatures during development, but not during the growth phase | Dictyostelium discoideum |
physiological function | isoforms FadA and FadB are involved in temperature adaptation. Isoform FadA is mainly responsible for the production of dienoic fatty acids, whereas isoform FadB has a supplementary function | Dictyostelium discoideum |
