Reaction: a linoleoyl-[glycerolipid] + reduced acceptor + O2 = an (8E,10E,12Z)-octadeca-8,10,12-trienoyl-[glycerolipid] + acceptor + 2 H2O
Glossary: calendate = (8E,10E,12Z)-octadeca-8,10,12-trienoate
Systematic name: linoleoyl-lipid,reduced acceptor:oxygen 8,11-allylic oxidase (8E,10E-forming)
Comments: The enzyme, characterized from the plant Calendula officinalis, converts a single cis double bond at position 9 of fatty acids incorporated into glycerolipids into two conjugated trans double bonds at positions 8 and 10.
