| Accepted name: |
2,3-bis-O-geranylgeranyl-sn-glycero-phospholipid reductase |
| Reaction: |

| Other name(s): |
AF0464 (gene name); 2,3-bis-O-geranylgeranyl-sn-glycerol 1-phosphate reductase (donor) |
| Systematic name: |
2,3-bis-(O-phytanyl)-sn-glycero-phospholipid:ferredoxin oxidoreductase |
| Comments: |
A flavoprotein (FAD). The enzyme is involved in the biosynthesis of archaeal membrane lipids. It catalyses the reduction of all 8 double bonds in 2,3-bis-O-geranylgeranyl-sn-glycero-phospholipids and all 4 double bonds in 3-O-geranylgeranyl-sn-glycerol phospholipids with comparable activity. Unlike EC 1.3.1.101, 2,3-bis-O-geranylgeranyl-sn-glycerol 1-phosphate reductase [NAD(P)H], this enzyme shows no activity with NADPH, and requires a dedicated ferredoxin [4]. |
