MpDES6	Δ6 fatty acid desaturase		Published
MpFAD12	Secondary metabolism enzyme		Provisional

Δ6 fatty acid desaturase; MpDES6 mediates two Δ6-desaturation reactions, linoleic acid (LA; 18:2Δ9,12) to γ-linolenic acid (GLA;18:3Δ6,9,12) in the n-6 pathway, and α-linolenic acid (ALA; 18:3Δ9,12,15) to stearidonic acid (STA; 18:4Δ6,9,12,15) in the n-3 pathway. (from nomenclature)
