EC 1.14.19.39     
Accepted name: acyl-lipid Δ12-acetylenase
Reaction: linoleoyl-[glycerolipid] + 2 ferrocytochrome b5 + O2 + 2 H+ = crepenynyl-[glycerolipid] + 2 ferricytochrome b5 + 2 H2O
Glossary: crepenynate = (9Z)-octadec-9-en-12-ynoate
Systematic name: Δ12 acyl-lipid,ferrocytochrome-b5:oxygen oxidoreductase (12,13-dehydrogenating)
Comments: The enzyme, characterized from the plant Crepis alpina, converts the double bond at position 12 of linoleate into a triple bond. The product is the main fatty acid found in triacylglycerols in the seed oil of Crepis alpina.
