Accepted Name
acyl-CoA 11-(E)-desaturase
Reaction catalysed
an 11,12-saturated fatty acyl-CoA + 2 Fe(II)-[cytochrome b5] + O2 + 2 H(+) = an (11E)-Delta(11)-fatty acyl-CoA + 2 Fe(III)-[cytochrome b5] + 2 H2O
Comment(s)
  • Involved in sex pheromone synthesis in the Lepidoptera (moths).
  • The enzyme from the moth Spodoptera littoralis prefers 13:0 and 14:0 substrates.
