On the protein level the following designations are being used for antigen Fatty Acid Desaturase 3:

fatty acid desaturase 3 – delta-9-desaturase – delta-9 fatty acid desaturase – linoleoyl-CoA desaturase (delta-9-desaturase)-like 3 – putative fatty acid desaturase – FAD3 (FATTY ACID DESATURASE 3); omega-3 fatty acid desaturase

Fatty Acid Desaturase 3 fulfills a number of functions:

heme binding – molecular_function – oxidoreductase activity – 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 – iron ion binding – omega-3 fatty acid desaturase activity

Fatty Acid Desaturase 3 is relevant to the following processes:

electron transport chain – transport – unsaturated fatty acid biosynthetic process – fatty acid biosynthetic process – lipid biosynthetic process – lipid metabolic process – oxidation reduction – response to karrikin

Locations for Fatty Acid Desaturase 3:

endoplasmic reticulum – integral to membrane – membrane – membrane fraction
