Characteristics of the protein coding sequence
Biological function
Δ6-Desaturases introduce Δ6 double bonds, converting linoleic acid (C18:2,Δ9,12) into γ-linolenic acid (C18:3,Δ6,9,12) and/or α-linolenic acid (C18:3,Δ9,12,15) to stearidonic acid (C18:4,Δ6,9,12,15).
Related trait(s) or use(s) in biotechnology
