In enzymology a plasmanylethanolamine desaturase (EC 1.14.99.19) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionO-1-alkyl-2-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine + AH2 + O2 O-1-alk-1-enyl-2-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine + A + 2 H2OThe 3 substrates of this enzyme are O-1-alkyl-2-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine an electron acceptor AH2 and O2 whereas its 3 products are O-1-alk-1-enyl-2-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine the reduction product A and H2O.This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases specifically those acting on paired donors with O2 as oxidant and incorporation or reduction of oxygen.
