Linoleate isomerase

In <a href="/facts/Enzymology/DSI1Fh7y">enzymology</a>, a linoleate isomerase (<a href="/facts/Enzyme_Commission_number/Y5GNLRKX">EC</a> <a href="https://www.enzyme-database.org/query.php?ec=5.2.1.5">5.2.1.5</a>) is an <a href="/facts/Enzyme/DSI1Fh7y">enzyme</a> that <a href="/facts/Catalysis/LPBS7TQC">catalyzes</a> the <a href="/facts/Chemical_reaction/GpqWlKrz">chemical reaction</a>

9-cis,12-cis-octadecadienoate 
 
 
 
 ⇌
 
 
 {\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons }
 
 9-cis,11-trans-octadecadienoate
Hence, this enzyme has one <a href="/facts/Substrate_(biochemistry)/6MnaV19h">substrate</a>, 9-cis,12-cis-octadecadienoate, and one <a href="/facts/Product_(chemistry)/8uCoDUdv">product</a>, 9-cis,11-trans-octadecadienoate.
This enzyme belongs to the family of <a href="/facts/Isomerase/DtUWnvle">isomerases</a>, specifically <a href="/facts/Cis-trans_isomerism/vqlchJly">cis-trans isomerases</a>. The <a href="/facts/List_of_enzymes/w2RP6EwU">systematic name</a> of this enzyme class is linoleate Delta12-cis-Delta11-trans-isomerase. This enzyme is also called linoleic acid isomerase. This enzyme participates in <a href="/facts/Linoleic_acid_metabolism/E3zEMyb6">linoleic acid metabolism</a>.
