Strain PCC 6803
Characteristics of the protein coding sequence
Name of the protein expressed by the coding sequence
Acyl-lipid desaturase
Biological function
The desC (a.k.a. des9) is involved in the biosynthesis of unsaturated fatty acids (lipid metabolism). Fatty acid unsaturation was found to be essential for tolerance to low temperatures by cyanobacteria. Similar proteins exist in higher plants.
