Claim Text:
1. An isolated nucleic acid molecule comprising at least one regulatory sequence operably linked to a heterologous nucleotide sequence encoding a polypeptide comprising at least one cytochrome b5 heme-binding motif and at least one histidine motif, wherein said heterologous nucleotide sequence is selected from the group consisting of: (a) the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 3 or 5; (b) a nucleotide sequence encoding a polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 4 or 6; (c) a nucleotide sequence having at least 80% sequence identity to the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 3 or 5, wherein said nucleotide sequence encodes a polypeptide having Δ5-desaturase activity; and (d) a nucleotide sequence encoding a polypeptide having at least 80% sequence identity to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 4 or 6, wherein said polypeptide has Δ5-desaturase activity.
