Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionfat-2 encodes a delta-12 fatty acyl desaturase that increases membranefluidity when expressed in yeast, and that may protect against coldstress; FAT-2's substrate is unknown, but may be acyl-CoA; FAT-2 isrequired in vivo for normal levels of C18 or C20 polyunsaturated fattyacids (PUFAs); FAT-2 is fully required for a sperm-attracting cue(perhaps an eicosanoid) secreted by oocytes, and partially required forthe polarizing activity of PAR-3, PAR-6, and other proteins; FAT-2 isalso required for a normally fast growth rate and movement rate, and fornormal body shape, defecation rhythm, and brood size; when expressed in yeast, FAT-2 exhibits a v+3 mode of desaturase activity, catalyzing double bond formation three carbons from an existing double bond.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00003999

Automated_descriptionEnables stearoyl-CoA 9-desaturase activity. Involved in several processes, including collagen and cuticulin-based cuticle development; fatty acid biosynthetic process; and innate immune response. Predicted to be located in membrane.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

RemarkM03A8.1 link removed by agreement. [sdm 0107]
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.CGC_data_submission
