Description
Chloroplastic enzyme responsible for the synthesis of 16:2 and 18:2 fatty acids from galactolipids, sulpholipids and phosphatidylglycerol. Uses ferredoxin as electron donor. Gene mutation resulted in reduced level of unsaturated fatty acids leading to susceptibility to photoinhibition.

Chloroplast omega-6 fatty acid desaturase introduces the second double bond in the biosynthesis of 16:3 and 18:3 fatty acids, important constituents of plant membranes. It is thought to use ferredoxin as an electron donor and to act on fatty acids esterified to galactolipids, sulfolipids and phosphatidylglycerol.
