Enzymes for Research, Diagnostic and Industrial Use

acyl-CoA 5-desaturase

Cat No.
EXWM-1001
Description
The enzyme, characterized from the plant Anemone leveillei, introduces a cis double bond at carbon 5 of acyl-CoAs that do not contain a double bond at position 8. In vivo it forms non-methylene-interrupted polyunsaturated fatty acids such as sciadonate and juniperonate. When expressed in Arabidopsis thaliana the enzyme could also act on unsaturated substrates such as palmitoyl-CoA. cf. EC 1.14.19.44, acyl-CoA (8-3)-desaturase.

Synonyms
acyl-CoA 5-desaturase (non-methylene-interrupted)
Reaction
(1) (11Z,14Z)-icosa-11,14-dienoyl-CoA + reduced acceptor + O2 = (5Z,11Z,14Z)-icosa-5,11,14-trienoyl-CoA + acceptor + 2 H2O; (2) (11Z,14Z,17Z)-icosa-11,14,17-trienoyl-CoA + reduced acceptor + O2 = (5Z,11Z,14Z,17Z)-icosa-5,11,14,17-tetraenoyl-CoA + acceptor + 2 H2O
