In enzymology a phosphatidylcholine desaturase (EC 1.3.1.35) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction1-acyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine + NAD+ 1-acyl-2-linoleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine + NADH + H+Thus the two substrates of this enzyme are 1-acyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine and NAD+ whereas its 3 products are 1-acyl-2-linoleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine NADH and H+.This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases specifically those acting on the CH-CH group of donor with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor.
