Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable oxidoreductase activity, acting on paired donors, with oxidation of a pair of donors resulting in the reduction of molecular oxygen to two molecules of water. Predicted to be involved in lipid metabolic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within fatty acid biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in membrane. Orthologous to human FADS6 (fatty acid desaturase 6).
