IUBMB Comments

The enzyme, isolated from the archaeon Haloarcula japonica, is involved in the biosynthesis of the C50 carotenoid bacterioruberin. In this pathway it catalyses the desaturation of the C-3,4 double bond in dihydroisopentenyldehydrorhodopin and the desaturation of the C-3′,4′ double bond in dihydrobisanhydrobacterioruberin.

The expected taxonomic range for this enzyme is: Bacteria, Archaea

Synonyms
c0507, gamma-carotene desaturase, more
