DE   icosanoyl-CoA 5-desaturase.
AN   acyl-CoA Delta(5)-desaturase.
CA   eicosanoyl-CoA + 2 Fe(II)-[cytochrome b5] + 2 H(+) + O2 = (5Z)-
CA   eicosenoyl-CoA + 2 Fe(III)-[cytochrome b5] + 2 H2O.
CC   -!- The enzyme, characterized from the plant Limnanthes douglasii
CC       (meadowfoam), is involved in the biosynthesis of (5Z)-icos-5-enoate,
CC       an unusual monounsaturated fatty acid that makes up to 60% of the
CC       total fatty acids in Limnanthes sp. seed oil.
CC   -!- The enzyme only acts on saturated fatty acids.
