Name
icosanoyl-CoA 5-desaturase;
acyl-CoA Delta5-desaturase (ambiguous)
Class

Sysname
icosanoyl-CoA,ferrocytochrome b5:oxygen oxidoreductase (5,6 cis-dehydrogenating)
Reaction(IUBMB)
icosanoyl-CoA + 2 ferrocytochrome b5 + O2 + 2 H+ = (Z)-icos-5-enoyl-CoA + 2 ferricytochrome b5 + 2 H2O [RN:R10926]
Reaction(KEGG)
R10926
Substrate
icosanoyl-CoA [CPD:C02041];
ferrocytochrome b5 [CPD:C00999];
O2 [CPD:C00007];
H+ [CPD:C00080]
Product
(Z)-icos-5-enoyl-CoA [CPD:C20947];
ferricytochrome b5 [CPD:C00996];
H2O [CPD:C00001]
Comment
The enzyme, characterized from the plant Limnanthes douglasii (meadowfoam), is involved in the biosynthesis of (5Z)-icos-5-enoate, an unusual monounsaturated fatty acid that makes up to 60% of the total fatty acids in Limnanthes sp. seed oil. The enzyme only acts on saturated fatty acids.
