Identification
HMDB Protein ID HMDBP14438
Secondary Accession Numbers None
Name 4,4'-diapophytoene desaturase (4,4'-diaponeurosporene-forming)
Synonyms
  1. Dehydrosqualene desaturase
Gene Name CRTN
Protein Type Unknown
Biological Properties
General Function Not Available
Specific Function Involved in the biosynthesis of the yellow-orange carotenoid staphyloxanthin, which plays a role in the virulence via its protective function against oxidative stress. Catalyzes three successive dehydrogenation reactions that lead to the introduction of three double bonds into 4,4'-diapophytoene (dehydrosqualene), with 4,4'-diapophytofluene and 4,4'-diapo-zeta-carotene as intermediates, and 4,4'-diaponeurosporene (the major deep-yellow pigment in staphylococci strains) as the end product.
