show Brenda entry

EC number

1.14.99.30

Accepted name

carotene 7,8-desaturase

Reaction

neurosporene + AH₂ + O₂ = lycopene + A + 2 H₂O

Other name(s)

ζ-carotene desaturase

Systematic name

carotene,hydrogen-donor:oxygen oxidoreductase

CAS registry number

115300-02-2

Comment

Also acts on ζ-carotene twice to give lycopene and converts β-zeacarotene to γ-carotene, and pro-ζ-carotene to prolycopene (via double reaction)
