EC 1.14.19.13 Details
EC number
1.14.19.13
Accepted name
acyl-CoA 15-desaturase
Reaction
(9Z,12Z)-hexadeca-9,12-dienoyl-CoA + reduced acceptor + O2 = (9Z,12Z,15Z)-hexadeca-9,12,15-trienoyl-CoA + acceptor + 2 H2O
Other name(s)
DES3 (gene name)
Systematic name
acyl-CoA,reduced acceptor:oxygen oxidoreductase (15,16 cis-dehydrogenating)
Comment
The enzyme, characterized from the the plant Sorghum bicolor, is involved in the biosynthesis of sorgoleone, an allelopathic compound produced in root hair cells. The enzyme inserts a cis double bond at carbon 15. When acting on its natural substrate, (9Z,12Z)-hexadeca-9,12-dienoyl-CoA, it produces a product with a terminal double bond.
