Phytoene desaturase (zeta-carotene-forming) ( EC 1.3.99.29, CrtIa, 2-step phytoene desaturase (ambiguous), two-step phytoene desaturase (ambiguous)) is an enzyme with systematic name 15-cis-phytoene:acceptor oxidoreductase (zeta-carotene-forming). [1] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
- 15-cis- phytoene + 2 acceptor all-trans-zeta-carotene + 2 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
The enzyme is involved in carotenoid biosynthesis.
