ENZYME entry: EC 4.1.99.5

PURL: https://purl.expasy.org/enzyme/EC/4.1.99.5
Accepted Name
aldehyde oxygenase (deformylating)
Alternative Name(s)
aldehyde decarbonylase
Reaction catalysed
a long-chain fatty aldehyde + 2 NADPH + O2 + H(+) = a long-chain alkane + formate + 2 NADP(+) + H2O
Comment(s)
  • Involved in the biosynthesis of alkanes.
  • The enzyme from the cyanobacterium Nostoc punctiforme PCC 73102 is only active in vitro in the presence of ferredoxin, ferredoxin reductase and NADPH, and produces mostly C15 to C17 alkanes.
  • The enzyme from pea (Pisum sativum) produces alkanes of chain length C18 to C32 and is inhibited by metal-chelating agents.
  • The substrate for this enzyme is formed by EC 1.2.1.80.
