EC 1.14.19.41 Details
EC number
1.14.19.41
Accepted name
sterol 22-desaturase
Reaction
ergosta-5,7,24(28)-trien-3β-ol + NADPH + H+ + O2 = ergosta-5,7,22,24(28)-tetraen-3β-ol + NADP+ + 2 H2O
Other name(s)
ERG5 (gene name), CYP710A (gene name)
Systematic name
ergosta-5,7,24(28)-trien-3β-ol,NADPH:oxygen oxidoreductase (22,23-dehydrogenating)
Comment
A heme-thiolate protein (P-450). The enzyme, found in yeast and plants, catalyses the introduction of a double bond between the C-22 and C-23 carbons of certain sterols. In yeast the enzyme acts on ergosta-5,7,24(28)-trien-3β-ol, a step in the biosynthesis of ergosterol. The enzyme from the plant Arabidopsis thaliana acts on sitosterol and 24-epi-campesterol, producing stigmasterol and brassicasterol, respectively.
