ENZYME entry: EC 1.14.19.75

Accepted Name
very-long-chain acyl-lipid omega-9 desaturase
Reaction catalysed
  • a 1-hexacosanoyl-2-acyl-phosphoglycerolipid + 2 Fe(II)-[cytochrome b5] + 2 H(+) + O2 <=> a 1-[(17Z)-hexacos-17-enoyl]-2-acyl-phosphoglycerolipid + 2 Fe(III)-[cytochrome b5] + 2 H2O
  • a 1-tetracosanoyl-2-acyl-phosphoglycerolipid + 2 Fe(II)-[cytochrome b5] + 2 H(+) + O2 <=> a 1-[(15Z)-tetracos-15-enoyl]-2-acyl-phosphoglycerolipid + 2 Fe(III)-[cytochrome b5] + 2 H2O
Comment(s)
  • The enzyme, characterized from the plant Arabidopsis thaliana, acts on both 24:0 and 26:0 fatty acids, introducing a cis double bond at a position 9 carbons from the methyl end.
  • These very-long-chain fatty acids are found as a minor component of seed lipids, but also in the membrane phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylserine, in sphingolipids, as precursors and components of cuticular and epicuticular waxes, and in suberin.
