Name	All-trans-zeta-carotene desaturase
EC_number	1.3.99.26

All-trans-zeta-carotene desaturase (, Crtlb, phytoene desaturase (ambiguous), 2-step phytoene desaturase (ambiguous), two-step phytoene desaturase (ambiguous), CrtI (ambiguous)) is an enzyme with systematic name all-trans-zeta-carotene:acceptor oxidoreductase. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

: all-trans-zeta-carotene + 2 acceptor \rightleftharpoons all-trans-lycopene + 2 reduced acceptor (overall reaction) : (1a) all-trans-zeta-carotene + acceptor \rightleftharpoons all-trans-neurosporene + reduced acceptor : (1b) all-trans-neurosporene + acceptor \rightleftharpoons all-trans-lycopene + reduced acceptor

This enzyme is involved in carotenoid biosynthesis.
