EC 1.14.18.4 Details
EC number
1.14.18.4
Accepted name
phosphatidylcholine 12-monooxygenase
Reaction
a 1-acyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine + 2 ferrocytochrome b5 + O2 + 2 H+ = a 1-acyl-2-[(12R)-12-hydroxyoleoyl]-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine + 2 ferricytochrome b5 + H2O
Other name(s)
ricinoleic acid synthase, oleate Δ12-hydroxylase, oleate Δ12-monooxygenase
Systematic name
1-acyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine,ferrocytochrome-b5:oxygen oxidoreductase (12-hydroxylating)
CAS registry number
77950-95-9
Comment
The enzyme, characterized from the plant Ricinus communis (castor bean), is involved in production of the 12-hydroxylated fatty acid ricinoleate. The enzyme, which shares sequence similarity with fatty-acyl desaturases, requires a cytochrome b5 as the electron donor.
History
