ADS3

Gene
ADS3
Protein
Palmitoyl-monogalactosyldiacylglycerol delta-7 desaturase, chloroplastic
Organism
Arabidopsis thaliana
Length
371 amino acids
Function
Fatty acid desaturase involved in the first desaturation step leading to the formation of hexadeca 7,10,13-trienoic acid (16:3(7Z,10Z,13Z)), the major functional components of thylakoid membranes (PubMed:15579662, PubMed:16666902, PubMed:15240892). Required for chloroplast biogenesis at low temperature (PubMed:16668849). Also indirectly involved in the production of the oxylipin dinor-oxo-phyto-dienoic acid implicated in wound signaling (PubMed:15579662).
Similarity
Belongs to the fatty acid desaturase type 1 family.
