Comment typeDescription
Catalytic ActivityStearoyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] + reduced acceptor + O(2) = oleoyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] + acceptor + 2 H(2)O. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17072561}.
CofactorName=Fe cation; Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:24875; Evidence={ECO:0000250}; Note=Binds 2 iron ions per subunit. {ECO:0000250};
FunctionConverts stearoyl-ACP to oleoyl-ACP by introduction of a cis double bond between carbons Delta(9) and Delta(10) of the acyl chain. Also able to convert palmitoyl-ACP to palmitoleoyl-ACP at C9 position. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17072561}.
PathwayLipid metabolism; fatty acid metabolism.
SimilarityBelongs to the fatty acid desaturase family. {ECO:0000305}.
Subcellular LocationPlastid, chloroplast {ECO:0000305}.
SubunitHomodimer. {ECO:0000250}.
Tissue SpecificityUbiquitously expressed with a preference in leaves, flowers and stems. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17072561}.
