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