| EC | 1.2.1.80 | ||
| Accepted name: | long-chain acyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] reductase | ||
| Reaction: | a long-chain aldehyde + an [acyl-carrier protein] + NAD(P)+ = a long-chain acyl-[acyl-carrier protein] + NAD(P)H + H+ | ||
| Glossary: | a long-chain aldehyde = an aldehyde derived from a fatty acid with an aliphatic chain of 13-22 carbons. an [acyl-carrier protein] = ACP = [acp] |
||
| Other name(s): | long-chain acyl-[acp] reductase; fatty acyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] reductase; acyl-[acp] reductase | ||
| Systematic name: | long-chain-aldehyde:NAD(P)+ oxidoreductase (acyl-[acyl-carrier protein]-forming) | ||
| Comments: | Catalyses the reaction in the opposite direction. This enzyme, purified from the cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942, catalyses the NAD(P)H-dependent reduction of an activated fatty acid (acyl-[acp]) to the corresponding aldehyde. Together with EC 4.1.99.5, octadecanal decarbonylase, it is involved in alkane biosynthesis. The natural substrates of the enzyme are C16 and C18 activated fatty acids. Requires Mg2+. | ||
