methylene-fatty-acyl-phospholipid synthase EC#: 2.1.1.16; ChemWhat Code: 1376154

Product Name methylene-fatty-acyl-phospholipid synthase
Example Structure Example Structure of methylene-fatty-acyl-phospholipid synthase EC#: 2.1.1.16
Synonyms methyltransferase, unsaturated phospholipid, unsaturated phospholipid methyltransferase, unsaturated-phospholipid methyltransferase
EC Number 2.1.1.16
CAS Registry Number 37256-90-9
Comments The enzyme transfers a methyl group to the 10-position of a ¦¤-olefinic acyl chain in phosphatidylglycerol or phosphatidylinositol or, more slowly, phosphatidylethanolamine; subsequent proton transfer produces a 10-methylene group (cf. EC 2.1.1.79 cyclopropane-fatty-acyl-phospholipid synthase).
Cofactor
History
Reactions S-adenosyl-L-methionine + phospholipid olefinic fatty acid = S-adenosyl- L-homocysteine + phospholipid methylene fatty acid.
