   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 | 1-oleoyl-2-acyl-[glycerolipid] + reduced ferredoxin [iron-sulfur] cluster + O2 + H+ |

| 1.14.19.6 | cis-9-octadecenoic acid + reduced acceptor + O2 |
PtFAD2 is involved in the biosynthesis of eicosapentaenoic acid |
| 1.14.19.6 | eicosenoic acid + reduced acceptor + O2 |
62% conversion |
| 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 |

PtFAD6 is involved in the biosynthesis of hexadecantrienic acid |
| 1.14.19.6 | more |
synergistic effect of high-light and low temperature on cell growth of the DELTA12 fatty acid desaturase mutant |
| 1.14.19.6 | more |
the main transition in fatty acid metabolism of Acanthamoeba castellanii during batch growth appears to be primarily related to a rapid decline in DELTA12-desaturase activity after 24 h. The resultant large growth-dependent changes in the degree of fatty acid unsaturation would be expected to affect the physical state and/or fluidity of membranes, and may be related to many of the distinctive physiological and biochemical characteristics displayed by Acanthamoeba castellanii in different stages of batch growth |

| 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 |
