Delta-4 desaturase catalyzes the creation of a double bond at the fourth position from the carboxyl end of docosapentaenoic acid (C22:5), converting it into docosahexaenoic acid (C22:6). It was also found that the another substrate for Δ4-desaturase, 22:4ω6, can be parallely desaturated to 22:5ω6.

Thraustochytrium sp. delta-4 desaturase encodes a polypeptide of 519 amino acids in length and approximately 59 kDa in size.
