- Description
- Predicted to have linoleoyl-CoA desaturase activity. Involved in liver development. Predicted to localize to endoplasmic reticulum; endoplasmic reticulum membrane; and integral component of 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).
