ENZYME entry: EC 1.2.1.84

PURL: https://purl.expasy.org/enzyme/EC/1.2.1.84
Accepted Name
alcohol-forming fatty acyl-CoA reductase (NADPH)
Reaction catalysed
a long-chain fatty acyl-CoA + 2 NADPH + 2 H(+) = a long-chain primary fatty alcohol + 2 NADP(+) + CoA
Comment(s)
  • The enzyme has a wide distribution and is found in bacteria, plants, fungi, and animals.
  • The alcohol is formed by a four-electron reduction of fatty acyl-CoA.
  • Although the reaction proceeds through an aldehyde intermediate, a free aldehyde is not released.
  • Enzymes from different sources vary in their chain-length preference.
  • cf. EC 1.2.1.108.
