FadX of Punica granatum

PgFadX

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, BBa_K2983061) and another one from the chinese cucumber / chinese snake gourd / Trichosanthes kirilowii (Tk-FadX, BBa_K2983062).
