EC 2.3.1.119 Details
EC number
2.3.1.119
Accepted name
icosanoyl-CoA synthase
Reaction
stearoyl-CoA + malonyl-CoA + 2 NAD(P)H + 2 H+ = icosanoyl-CoA + CO2 + CoA + 2 NAD(P)+ + H2O
Other name(s)
acyl-CoA elongase, C18-CoA elongase, stearoyl-CoA elongase
Systematic name
stearoyl-CoA:malonyl-CoA C-acyltransferase (decarboxylating, oxoacyl- and enoyl-reducing)
CAS registry number
141256-55-5
Comment
Icosanoyl-CoA can act in place of stearoyl-CoA. The membrane enzyme brings about the elongation of these long-chain fatty-acyl-CoAs.
