Biological Properties
General Function Not Available
Specific Function Condensing enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of monounsaturated and of polyunsaturated very long chain fatty acids Acts specifically toward polyunsaturated acyl-CoA with the higher activity toward C18:3(n-6) acyl-CoA.
Pathways
  • alpha-Linolenic acid metabolism
  • Biosynthesis of unsaturated fatty acids
  • Fatty acid elongation
