EC number

1.3.99.29

Accepted name

phytoene desaturase (ζ-carotene-forming)

Reaction

15-cis-phytoene + 2 acceptor = all-trans-ζ-carotene + 2 reduced acceptor (overall reaction);;(1a) 15-cis-phytoene + acceptor = all-trans-phytofluene + reduced acceptor;;(1b) all-trans-phytofluene + acceptor = all-trans-ζ-carotene + reduced acceptor

Other name(s)

CrtIa, 2-step phytoene desaturase (ambiguous), two-step phytoene desaturase (ambiguous)

Systematic name

15-cis-phytoene:acceptor oxidoreductase (ζ-carotene-forming)

Comment

The enzyme is involved in carotenoid biosynthesis and catalyses up to two desaturation steps (cf. EC 1.3.99.28 [phytoene desaturase (neurosporene-forming)], EC 1.3.99.30 [phytoene desaturase (3,4-didehydrolycopene-forming)] and EC 1.3.99.31 [phytoene desaturase (lycopene-forming)]).
