palmitoyl-CoA 14-(E/Z)-desaturase

inquiry

Cat No.

EXWM-0996

Description

The enzyme, found in the moth Ostrinia furnacalis (Asian corn borer), produces a mixture of (E)- and (Z)- isomers. The products are subsequently truncated by partial β-oxidation to a blend of 12(E/Z)-tetradec-12-enoyl-CoA, which are converted to the species-specific sex pheromones (E)- and (Z)-tetradec-12-enoyl acetates.

Form

Liquid or lyophilized powder

Enzyme Commission Number

EC 1.14.19.32

Storage

Store it at +4 ºC for short term. For long term storage, store it at -20 ºC～-80 ºC.

Reaction

(1) palmitoyl-CoA + 2 ferrocytochrome b5 + O2 + 2 H+ = (14E)-hexadec-14-enoyl-CoA + 2 ferricytochrome b5 + 2 H2O; (2) palmitoyl-CoA + 2 ferrocytochrome b5 + O2 + 2 H+ = (14Z)-hexadec-14-enoyl-CoA + 2 ferricytochrome b5 + 2 H2O
