MpFAD7	Secondary metabolism enzyme		Provisional

Delta5 fatty acid desaturase; MpDES5 mediates two Delta5-desaturation reactions, dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid (DGLA; 20:3Delta8,11,14) to arachidonic acid (AA;20:4Delta5,8,11,14) in the n-6 pathway, and eicosatetraenoic acid (ETA; 18:4Delta8,11,14,17) to eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA; 20:5Delta5,8,11,14,17) in the n-3 pathway.
