FAT-7
CELE_F10D2.9, 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.
