Description
This enzyme is obtained from the gene Oleic acid desaturase (ode).The gene is obtained from Synechocystis sp., a cyanobacterium and introduced in the E.coli. It is a trans-membrane enzyme, involved in the biosynthesis of C18:2 from C18:1. C18:2 corresponds to Linolenic acid. The delta 12 desaturase introduces a second cis carbon double bond on the 12th carbon in C18:1.
