ENZYME entry: EC 1.14.19.32

Accepted Name
palmitoyl-CoA 14-(E/Z)-desaturase
Reaction catalysed
  • 2 Fe(II)-[cytochrome b5] + 2 H(+) + hexadecanoyl-CoA + O2 <=> (14E)-hexadecenoyl-CoA + 2 Fe(III)-[cytochrome b5] + 2 H2O
  • 2 Fe(II)-[cytochrome b5] + 2 H(+) + hexadecanoyl-CoA + O2 <=> (14Z)-hexadecenoyl-CoA + 2 Fe(III)-[cytochrome b5] + 2 H2O
Comment(s)
  • The enzyme, found in the moth Ostrinia furnacalis (Asian corn borer), produces a mixture of (E)- and (Z)- isomers.
  • The products are subsequently truncated by partial beta-oxidation to a blend of 12(E/Z)-tetradec-12-enoyl-CoA, which are converted to the species-specific sex pheromones (E)- and (Z)-tetradec-12-enoyl acetates.
