DE   (11Z)-hexadec-11-enoyl-CoA conjugase.
CA   (11Z)-hexadecenoyl-CoA + AH2 + O2 = (10E,12Z)-hexadecadienoyl-CoA + A +
CA   2 H2O.
CC   -!- The enzyme, characterized from the silk moth Bombyx mori, catalyzes a
CC       step in the pathway for the biosynthesis of bombykol, a sex pheromone
CC       produced by the moth.
CC   -!- The enzyme converts a single cis double bond at position 11 of (11Z)-
CC       hexadec-11-enoyl-CoA into conjugated 10 trans and 12 cis double
CC       bonds.
CC   -!- Prior to catalyzing this reaction, the enzyme catalyzes the
CC       introduction of the cis bond in position 11 (cf. EC 1.14.19.5).
