Comment typeDescription
Disruption PhenotypeMissing a chloroplast-specific phosphatidylglycerol molecular species that carries a delta 3- trans-hexadecenoic acid in the sn-2 position of its core glyceryl moiety. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17796728, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19682287}.
FunctionFatty acid desaturase involved in the production of chloroplast-specific phosphatidylglycerol molecular species. Catalyzes the formation of a trans double bond introduced close to the carboxyl group of palmitic acid, which is specifically esterified to the sn-2 glyceryl carbon of phosphatidylglycerol. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17796728, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19682287}.
PathwayLipid metabolism; fatty acid metabolism.
Sequence CautionSequence=AAK63863.1; Type=Erroneous initiation; Note=Translation N-terminally extended.; Evidence={ECO:0000305};
SimilarityBelongs to the fatty acid desaturase family. {ECO:0000305}.
Subcellular LocationPlastid, chloroplast membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19682287}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19682287}.
