| Accepted Name |
|---|
| Phytoene desaturase (neurosporene-forming).
|
| Alternative Name(s) |
|---|
| 3-step phytoene desaturase. |
| Reaction catalysed |
|---|
| 15-cis-phytoene + 3 acceptor <=> all-trans-neurosporene + 3 reduced acceptor |
| Comment(s) |
|---|
- This enzyme is involved in carotenoid biosynthesis and catalyzes up
to three desaturation steps (cf. EC 1.3.99.29, EC 1.3.99.30,
