Protein
Fatty acid desaturase 4-like 2, chloroplastic
Organism
Arabidopsis thaliana
Function
Fatty acid desaturase involved in the production of chloroplast-specific phosphatidylglycerol molecular species. Catalyzes the formation of a trans double bond introduced close to the carboxyl group of palmitic acid, which is specifically esterified to the sn-2 glyceryl carbon of phosphatidylglycerol (By similarity).
