In enzymology, a Delta12-fatty acid dehydrogenase (EC 1.14.99.33) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionlinoleate + 2AH + O2 crepenynate + 2A + H2O
Nomenclature
The systematic name of this enzyme class is linoleate, hydrogen-donor:oxygen oxidoreductase (Delta12-unsaturating). Other names in common use include • crepenynate synthase and • linoleate Delta12-fatty acid acetylenase (desaturase). ==References==
