ENZYME entry: EC 1.14.19.19

PURL: https://purl.expasy.org/enzyme/EC/1.14.19.19
Accepted Name
sphingolipid 10-desaturase
Reaction catalysed
a (4E,8E)-4-sphinga-4,8-dienine ceramide + 2 Fe(II)-[cytochrome b5] + O2 + 2 H(+) = an N-acyl-(4E,8E,10E)-sphingatrienine + 2 Fe(III)-[cytochrome b5] + 2 H2O
Comment(s)
  • The enzyme, characterized from the marine diatom Thalassiosira pseudonana, produces an all-trans product.
  • Similar triunsaturated sphingoid bases are found in some marine invertebrates.
  • The enzyme determines the position of the double bond by its distance from the alcohol end of the sphingoid base, and contains a cytochrome b5 domain that acts as the direct electron donor to the active site of the desaturase.
