| evolution | in plants, membrane-bound fatty acid desaturases are present in the plastid and the endoplasmic reticulum. The electron donors for plastid desaturases are typically ferredoxins, while endoplasmic reticulum enzymes use cytochrome b5 (Cytb5) | Ricinus communis |
| physiological function | in plants, seed-specific delta-12 fatty acid desaturase 2 (FAD2) is responsible for the high content of linoleic acid by inserting a double bond at the delta-12 (omega-6) position of oleic acid. FAD2-2 genes encoding isoforms of the large and functionally diverse FAD2 gene family are detected in developing seeds suggesting their major roles in storage oil desaturation in seed | Ricinus communis |
