FadX of Punica granatum
Conjugated linolenic acids (CLnAs) are synthetized by bifunctional fatty acid conjugase / desaturase (FadX) enzymes from linoleic acid, C18:2 (9Z,12Z).Thus, to convert it into punicic acid, only the presence of a EC: 1.14.19.16 enzyme is necessary (Figure 1).
Two EC: 1.14.19.16 enzymes were described in the literature: one from pomegranate / Punica granatum (Pg-FadX) and another one from the chinese cucumber / chinese snake gourd / Trichosanthes kirilowii (Tk-FadX, BBa_K2983062).
Usage and Biology
This enzyme is used to produce punicic acid from linoleic acid.
