IUBMB Comments

This enzyme is involved in carotenoid biosynthesis and catalyses up to five desaturation steps (cf. EC 1.3.99.28 [phytoene desaturase (neurosporene-forming)], EC 1.3.99.29 [phytoene desaturase (ζ-carotene-forming)] and EC 1.3.99.31 [phytoene desaturase (lycopene-forming)]).

The expected taxonomic range for this enzyme is: Eukaryota, Archaea, Bacteria

Synonyms
Al-1, CarB, CrtI, PDS, phytoene desaturase, more
