Summary
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). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
