Cat No.
EXWM-1433
Description
Requires FAD. The enzyme is involved in carotenoid biosynthesis and catalyses up to four desaturation steps (cf. EC 1.3.99.28 [phytoene desaturase (neurosporene-forming)], EC 1.3.99.29 [phytoene desaturase (ζ-carotene-forming)] and EC 1.3.99.30 [phytoene desaturase (3,4-didehydrolycopene-forming)]).
Form
Liquid or lyophilized powder
Enzyme Commission Number
Storage
Store it at +4 ºC for short term. For long term storage, store it at -20 ºC～-80 ºC.
Synonyms
4-step phytoene desaturase; four-step phytoene desaturase; phytoene desaturase (ambiguous); CrtI (ambiguous)
Reaction
15-cis-phytoene + 4 acceptor = all-trans-lycopene + 4 reduced acceptor (overall reaction); (1a) 15-cis-phytoene + acceptor = all-trans-phytofluene + reduced acceptor; (1b) all-trans-phytofluene + acceptor = all-trans-ζ-carotene + reduced acceptor; (1c) all-trans-ζ-carotene + acceptor = all-trans-neurosporene + reduced acceptor; (1d) all-trans-neurosporene + acceptor = all-trans-lycopene + reduced acceptor
