cytochrome b5 cytochrome b5 is the primary electron donor for endoplasmic reticulum desaturases. The soluble cytochrome b5 domain corresponds to amino acids 48 to 147 Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

General Information

General Information Comment Organism
malfunction enzyme knockdown lines show decreases in the 16:4 and 18:3-9,12,15 acyl groups in lipids, fatty acid profile, overview Chlamydomonas reinhardtii
additional information overproduction of the enzyme in Chlamydomonas not only increases levels of 16:4 acyl groups in cell extracts but specifically increases the total amount of monogalactosyldiacylglycerol, fatty acid profile, overview Chlamydomonas reinhardtii
physiological function the enzyme is involved in synthesis of the plastid lipid monogalactosyldiacylglycerol (MGDG) in the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii occuring preferentially as a molecular species containing alpha-linolenic acid 18:3-9,12,15 in the sn-1 position and (4Z,7Z,10Z,13Z)-hexadeca-4,7,10,13-tetraenoic acid (16:4) in the sn-2 position of the glycerol backbone, fatty acid profile, overview Chlamydomonas reinhardtii
