palmitoyl-[acyl-carrier protein],reduced acceptor:oxygen oxidoreductase (4,5 cis-dehydrogenating)
The enzymes from the plants Coriandrum sativum (coriander) and Hedera helix (English ivy) are involved in biosynthesis of petroselinate [(6Z)-octadec-6-enoate], which is formed by elongation of (4Z)-hexadec-4-enoate. The ivy enzyme can also act on oleoyl-[acyl-carrier protein] and palmitoleoyl-[acyl-carrier protein], generating the corresponding 4,9-diene.
