SYSTEMATIC NAME
IUBMB Comments
1-gamma-linolenoyl-2-acyl-[glycerolipid],ferredoxin:oxygen oxidoreductase (15,16 cis-dehydrogenating)
The enzyme, characterized from cyanobacteria, introduces a cis double bond at carbon 15 of linoleoyl and gamma-linolenoyl groups attached to the sn-1 position of glycerolipids. The enzyme is an omega desaturase, and determines the location of the double bond by counting three carbons from the methyl end of the fatty acid. It is nonspecific with respect to the polar head group of the glycerolipid. cf. EC 1.14.19.35, sn-2 acyl-lipid omega-3 desaturase (ferredoxin).
