Thraustochytrium sp. - Thraustochytrids
Characteristics of the protein coding sequence
Biological function
Delta-5 desaturase converts dihomo-γ-linolenic acid (20:3) to arachidonic acid (20:4), by removing two hydrogen atoms and creating a double bond at the fifth carbon-carbon bond from the carboxylic acid end in fatty acids.
