4,4'-Diapophytoene desaturase (, dehydrosqualene desaturase, CrtN, 4,4'-diapophytoene:FAD oxidoreductase) is an enzyme with systematic name **. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

: 15-cis-4,4'-diapophytoene + 4 FAD \rightleftharpoons all-trans-4,4'-diapolycopene + 4 FADH2 (overall reaction) :(1a) 15-cis-4,4'-diapophytoene + FAD \rightleftharpoons all-trans-4,4'-diapophytofluene + FADH2 :(1b) all-trans-4,4'-diapophytofluene + FAD \rightleftharpoons all-trans-4,4'-diapo-zeta-carotene + FADH2 :(1c) all-trans-4,4'-diapo-zeta-carotene + FAD \rightleftharpoons all-trans-4,4'-diaponeurosporene + FADH2 :(1d) all-trans-4,4'-diaponeurosporene + FAD \rightleftharpoons all-trans-4,4'-diapolycopene + FADH2

This enzyme is typical of Staphylococcus aureus and some other bacteria such as Heliobacillus sp.
