SEED PLANT FATTY ACYL REDUCTASE PROTEINS AND GENES

摘要

2079113 9214816 PCTABS00015 By this invention are provided seed plant fatty acyl reductase proteins which are partially purified, and which are active in the formation of a fatty acyl substrate. Of special interest are jojhoba embryo reductase proteins having molecular mass of about 54 and 52 kD. Also considered are amino acid and nucleic acid sequences obtainable from such fatty acyl reductases.
