|
| Alternative Name(s) |
|---|
| Delta(12) desaturase. |
| Delta(12) fatty acid desaturase. |
| Delta(12)(omega-6)-desaturase. |
| Delta(12)-desaturase. |
| Oleoyl-CoA Delta(12) desaturase. |
| Reaction catalysed |
|---|
| Acyl-CoA + reduced acceptor + O(2) <=> Delta(12)-acyl-CoA + acceptor + 2 H(2)O |
| Comment(s) |
|---|
- In the yeast Lipomyces starkeyi and in the American cockroach
Periplaneta americana, this microsomal enzyme converts oleoyl-CoA
into linoleoyl-CoA.
- In the moths Cadra cautella and Spodoptera, the enzyme converts (Z)-
9-tetradecenoic acid into (9Z,12E)-tetradeca-9,12-dienoic acid, which
is reduced and acetylated to form the acetate ester pheromone.
- Formerly EC 1.14.19.n3.
