Reaction

Reaction Comment Organism Reaction ID
stearoyl-CoA + 2 ferrocytochrome b5 + O2 + 2 H+ = oleoyl-CoA + 2 ferricytochrome b5 + 2 H2O introduction of double bonds at fixed positions from the carboxyl group of the fatty acid. D-hydrogen atoms are removed during desaturation. Mixed-function oxidase, acting via hydroxy acid intermediates. Acetyl-CoA desaturase, carboxylase and fatty acid synthetase are all controlled together as a unit and influenced by dietary components Rattus norvegicus
