Enzyme name
(recommended)

stearoyl-CoA 9-desaturase

Alternative names

stearoyl-CoA,ferrocytochrome-b5:oxygen oxidoreductase (9,10-dehydrogenating)
Delta9-desaturase
acyl-CoA desaturase
fatty acid desaturase
stearoyl-CoA, hydrogen-donor:oxygen oxidoreductase

Classification

Oxidoreductases

Acting on paired donors with incorporation of molecular oxygen

With oxidation of a pair of donors resulting in the reduction of molecular oxygen to two molecules of water

Catalyses reactions

O2 + Reduced acceptor + Stearoyl-CoA <-> 2 H2O + Oleoyl-CoA + Acceptor

2 NADH + 2 H+ + O2 + Stearoyl-CoA <-> 2 NAD+ + 2 H2O + Oleoyl-CoA
