|
| Reaction(IUBMB) |
9,15,9'-tricis-zeta-carotene = 9,9'-dicis-zeta-carotene [RN: R09655]
|
| Reaction(KEGG) |
|
| Substrate |
9,15,9'-tricis-zeta-carotene [CPD: C19764]
|
| Product |
9,9'-dicis-zeta-carotene [CPD: C15857]
|
| Comment |
The enzyme catalyses the cis-trans isomerization of the 15-15' carbon-carbon double bond in 9,15,9'-tricis-zeta-carotene, which is required for biosynthesis of all plant carotenoids. Requires heme b.
