    Description

    This part is a delta-15 desaturase derived from Synechocystis sp PCC 6803.
    The enzyme is able to introduce a double bond at the Δ-15 site in the hydrocarbon chain of linoleic acid (18:2 ; Δ9,12), for its conversion into alpha- linoleic acid (18:3 ; Δ9,12,15), an Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA).
    Mass spectrometry results show that when feeding oleic acid to E. coli transformed with this part in addition to delta-12 desaturase (BBa_K925000), alpha-linoleic acid is observed in membrane lipids.
