ENZYME entry: EC 1.14.19.13

Accepted Name
acyl-CoA 15-desaturase
Reaction catalysed
(9Z,12Z)-hexadecadienoyl-CoA + AH2 + O2 <=> (9Z,12Z,15Z)-hexadecatrienoyl-CoA + A + 2 H2O
Comment(s)
  • The enzyme, characterized from the the plant Sorghum bicolor, is involved in the biosynthesis of sorgoleone, an allelopathic compound produced in root hair cells.
  • The enzyme inserts a cis double bond at carbon 15.
  • When acting on its natural substrate, (9Z,12Z)-hexadeca-9,12-dienoyl- CoA, it produces a product with a terminal double bond.
