1.14.19.6 | (Z)-9-tetradecenoic acid + ? |
biosynthetic pathway for producing the sex pheromone component (Z,E)-9,12-tetradecadienyl acetate in moths involves a DELTA12 desaturase |
1.14.19.6 | oleic acid + ? |
DELTA12-desaturase mutant shows delayed spore germination, a twofold reduction in growth, a reduced level of conidiation and complete loss of sclerotial development, compared with the wild-type enzyme |
1.14.19.6 | oleic acid + ? |
expression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae leads to endogenous production of linoleic acid |
1.14.19.6 | oleic acid + ? |
linoleic acid was detectable when expressing Fm2 in DELTA12 desaturase knockout Yarrowia lipolytica |
1.14.19.6 | more |
oxygen availability alone can regulate de novo DELTA12-desaturase synthesis in Acanthamoeba castellanii and oxygen can limit the activity of preexisting DELTA12-desaturase |
