ENZYME entry: EC 1.3.99.28
Accepted Name |
phytoene desaturase (neurosporene-forming).
|
Alternative Name(s) |
3-step phytoene desaturase. |
Reaction catalysed |
15-cis-phytoene + 3 A <=> 3 AH2 + all-trans-neurosporene |
Comment(s) |
- This enzyme is involved in carotenoid biosynthesis and catalyzes up
to three desaturation steps (cf. EC 1.3.99.29, EC 1.3.99.30,
EC 1.3.99.31).
- The enzyme is activated by FAD.
- NAD(+), NADP(+) or ATP show no activating effect.
