Aldehyde Decarbonylase (ADC) - Synechococcus elongatus PCC7942
This part encodes an enzyme that removes the carbonyl group (C=O) from a fatty aldehyde, yielding an alkane one carbon shorter than the original aldehyde and a molecule of formate. Works together with Acyl-ACP Reductase to produce odd chain length alkanes.
Usage and Biology
When used together with Acyl-ACP Reductase, Aldehyde Decarbonylase reduces fatty aldehydes into odd chain length alkanes (mostly pentadecanes).
