Phytoene desaturase (neurosporene-forming) ( EC 1.3.99.28, 3-step phytoene desaturase, three-step phytoene desaturase, phytoene desaturase (ambiguous), CrtI (ambiguous)) is an enzyme with systematic name 15-cis-phytoene:acceptor oxidoreductase (neurosporene-forming). [1] [2] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
- 15-cis-phytoene + 3 acceptor all-trans-neurosporene + 3 reduced acceptor (overall reaction)
- (1a) 15-cis-phytoene + acceptor all-trans-phytofluene + reduced acceptor
- (1b) all-trans-phytofluene + acceptor all-trans-zeta-carotene + reduced acceptor
- (1c) all-trans-zeta-carotene + acceptor all-trans-neurosporene + reduced acceptor
This enzyme is involved in carotenoid biosynthesis.
