Description
Omega-3 fatty acid desaturase that acts on a range of substrates. Catalyzes the desaturation of linolenic acid (18:2n-6), dihomo-gamma-linoleic acid (DHGLA) (20:3n-6), and arachidonic acid (20:4n-6), to generate gamma linolenic acid (18:3n-3), eicosatetraenoic acid (20:4n-3) and eicosapentaenoic acid (20:5n-3) respectively. Although the enzyme has been suggested to act on glycerolipids, the precise nature of the fatty acid substrate is unknown.
Family
Belongs to the fatty acid desaturase type 1 family.
