- Description
- 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. Acts upstream of or within liver development. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alar plate midbrain region; fat cell; nervous system; optic vesicle; and pleuroperitoneal region. Orthologous to several human genes including FADS2 (fatty acid desaturase 2).
