Gene isolated from (ricinus communis) encoding a new protein that interacts withthe oleate 12-hydroxylase enzyme

摘要

A description is provided of the isolation and characterization of a gene isolated from Ricinus communis which encodes for a protein capable of interacting with the oleate 12-hydroxylase enzyme that catalyzes the introduction of a hydroxyl group in the molecule of oleic acid (18:1< DELTA 9>) transforming it into ricinoleic acid (12-OH, 18:1< DELTA 9>).
