EC number
1.14.99.31
Accepted name
myristoyl-CoA 11-(E) desaturase
Reaction
myristoyl-CoA + NAD(P)H + H+ + O2 = (E)-tetradec-11-enoyl-CoA + NAD(P)+ + 2 H2O
Systematic name
n-tetradecanoyl-CoA,NAD(P)H:O2 oxidoreductase [11-(E) desaturating]
CAS registry number
199543-17-4
Comment
Involved in sex pheromone synthesis in the moth Spodoptera littoralis. (E)-Tetradec-11-enoyl-CoA is formed by stereospecific removal of the pro-R H at C-11 and the pro-S H at C-12. EC 1.14.99.32, myristoyl-CoA 11-(Z) desaturase, forms the Z isomer by stereospecific cleavage of pro-R H at C-11 and C-12.
