IPR014102 is a Phytoene desaturase.
<p>This entry represents phytoene desaturase (PDS) from plants and cyanobacteria (blue-green algae). It is an essential carotenoid biosynthetic enzyme. It converts phytoene into zeta-carotene via the intermediary of phytofluene by the symmetrical introduction of two double bonds at the C-11 and C-11' positions of phytoene with a concomitant isomerization of two neighbouring double bonds at the C9 and C9' positions from trans to cis [[cite:PUB00089809], [cite:PUB00089810]].</p> <p>This entry does not include plant chloroplast transit peptides and the entry does not contain zeta-carotene desaturase, which is a closely related family in the same pathway.</p>

| Biological process | Carotenoid biosynthetic process | The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of carotenoids, tetraterpenoid compounds in which two units of 4 isoprenoid residues joined head-to-tail are themselves joined tail-to-tail. | ||
| Molecular function | Phytoene dehydrogenase activity | Catalysis of the dehydrogenation of phytoene to produce a carotenoid intermediate such as phytofluene. |
