Term Name: | 9,9'-di-cis-zeta-carotene desaturation to 7,9,7',9'-tetra-cis-lycopene |
---|---|
Synonyms: | 7,9,7',9'-tetra-cis-lycopene biosynthesis from 9,9'-di-cis-zeta-carotene, 9,9'-di-cis-zeta-carotene catabolism to 7,9,7',9'-tetra-cis-lycopene |
Definition: | The series of reactions in which 9,9'-di-cis-zeta-carotene is desaturated to 7,9,9'-tri-cis-neurosporene, and then 7,9,7',9'-tetra-cis-lycopene. The overall reaction for this process is: 9,9'-di-cis-zeta-carotene + 2 quinone = 2 quinol + 7,9,7',9'-tetra-cis-lycopene. |
