Secondary Accession Numbers
  • 12890
Name Fatty acyl-CoA reductase 2
Synonyms
  1. Male sterility domain-containing protein 1
Gene Name FAR2
Protein Type Enzyme
Biological Properties
General Function Involved in catalytic activity
Specific Function Catalyzes the reduction of fatty acyl-CoA to fatty alcohols. The preferred substrates are C16, C18, C18:1 and C18:2 but low activity can be observed with C10-C14 substrates.
