Protein
Stearoyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] 9-desaturase 7, chloroplastic
Organism
Arabidopsis thaliana
Function
Converts stearoyl-ACP to oleoyl-ACP by introduction of a cis double bond between carbons 9 and 10 of the acyl chain. Required for the activation of certain jasmonic acid (JA)-mediated responses and the repression of the salicylic acid (SA) signaling pathway.
Similarity
Belongs to the fatty acid desaturase type 2 family.
