| fat-7 | --- | O16918 | O16918_CAEEL | --- | WBGene00001399 | F10D2.9 | fat-7 encodes an essential delta-9 fatty acid desaturase that is required for the synthesis of monounsaturated fatty acids
fat-7 can substitute for the functions of the other two fatty acid desaturases, fat-5 and fat-6
RNA interference has shown that fat-7 is required for viability and normal growth | WormBase |
