Accepted name: | Δ12 acyl-lipid conjugase (11E,13E-forming) | ||||
Reaction: | (1) a linoleoyl-[glycerolipid] + 2 ferrocytochrome b5 + O2 + 2 H+ = an α-eleostearoyl-[glycerolipid] + 2 ferricytochrome b5 + 2 H2O (2) a γ-linolenoyl-[glycerolipid] + 2 ferrocytochrome b5 + O2 + 2 H+ = an α-parinaroyl-[glycerolipid] + 2 ferricytochrome b5 + 2 H2O |

Glossary: | α-eleostearate = (9Z,11E,13E)-octadeca-9,11,13-trienoate α-parinarate = (9Z,11E,13E,15Z)-octadeca-9,11,13,15-tetraenoate γ-linolenic acid = (6Z,9Z,12Z)-octadeca-6,9,12-trienoic acid linoleic acid = (9Z,12Z)-octadeca-9,12-dienoic acid |

Other name(s): | fatty acid Δ12-conjugase (ambiguous); FADX (gene name) | ||||
Systematic name: | Δ12 acyl-lipid,ferrocytochrome-b5:oxygen 11,14 allylic oxidase (11E,13E-forming) | ||||
Comments: | The enzyme, characterized from the plants Impatiens balsamina, Momordica charantia (bitter gourd) and Vernicia fordii (tung tree), converts a single cis double bond at carbon 12 to two conjugated trans bonds at positions 11 and 13. The enzyme from Vernicia fordii can also act as a 12(E) desaturase when acting on the monounsaturated fatty acids oleate and palmitoleate. cf. EC 1.14.19.16, linoleoyl-lipid Δ12 conjugase (11E,13Z-forming). | ||||
