4,4′-diapophytoene desaturase (4,4′-diapolycopene-forming) EC#: 1.3.8.2; ChemWhat Code: 1374159

Product Name 4,4′-diapophytoene desaturase (4,4′-diapolycopene-forming)
Example Structure Example Structure of 4,4'-diapophytoene desaturase (4,4'-diapolycopene-forming) EC#: 1.3.8.2
Synonyms CrtN, CrtQa, dehydrosqualene desaturase
EC Number 1.3.8.2
CAS Registry Number
Comments The enzyme catalyses four successive dehydrogenations, resulting in production of 4,4′-diapolycopene. While the enzyme from Staphylococcus aureus was only shown to produce 4,4′-diaponeurosporene in vivo [4], it is able to catalyse the last reaction in vitro [5].
Cofactor
History
Reactions 15-cis-4,4′-diapophytoene + 4 Fad = all-trans-4,4′-diapolycopene + 4 FADH(2).
