ENZYME entry: EC 1.14.18.4

Accepted Name
phosphatidylcholine 12-monooxygenase
Alternative Name(s)
oleate Delta(12)-hydroxylase
ricinoleic acid synthase
Reaction catalysed
1-acyl-2-(9Z)-octadecenoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine + 2 Fe(II)-[cytochrome b5] + 2 H(+) + O2 <=> 1-acyl-2-[(R)-12-hydroxyoleoyl]-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine + 2 Fe(III)-[cytochrome b5] + H2O
Comment(s)
  • The enzyme, characterized from the plant Ricinus communis (castor bean), is involved in production of the 12-hydroxylated fatty acid ricinoleate.
  • The enzyme requires a cytochrome b5 as the electron donor.
  • Formerly EC 1.14.13.26.
