GO:0102654
Synonyms
  • 1-18:1-2-16:0-phosphatidylglycerol trans-3 desaturase activity
Definition
Catalysis of the reaction: a 1-acyl-2-hexadecanoyl-glycerolipid + 2 H+ + O2 + 2 reduced [2Fe-2S]-[ferredoxin] = a 1-acyl-2-[(3E)-hexadec-3-enoyl]-glycerolipid + 2 H2O + 2 oxidized [2Fe-2S]-[ferredoxin].
