EC 1.14.19.45 Details
EC number
1.14.19.45
Accepted name
sn-1 oleoyl-lipid 12-desaturase
Reaction
a 1-oleoyl-2-acyl-[glycerolipid] + 2 reduced ferredoxin [iron-sulfur] cluster + O2 + 2 H+ = a 1-linoleoyl-2-acyl-[glycerolipid] + 2 oxidized ferredoxin [iron-sulfur] cluster + 2 H2O
Other name(s)
desA (gene name)
Systematic name
1-oleoyl-2-acyl-[glycerolipid],ferredoxin:oxygen oxidoreductase (12,13-cis-dehydrogenating)
Comment
The enzyme, characterized from cyanobacteria, introduces a cis double bond at carbon 12 of oleoyl groups (18:1) attached to the sn-1 position of glycerolipids. The enzyme is a methyl-end desaturase, introducing the new double bond between a pre-existing double bond and the methyl-end of the fatty acid. It is nonspecific with respect to the polar head group of the glycerolipid.
