Definition:

EC Tree > 5 Isomerases > 5.2 cis-trans-Isomerases > 5.2.1 cis-trans Isomerases (only sub-subclass identified to date) > 5.2.1.5 linoleate isomerase
Linoleate isomerase converts 9-cis,12-cis-octadecadienoate (linoleic acid) into 9-cis,11-trans-octadecadienoate (conjugated linoleic acid) in rumen bacteria. It is found in Bacteria and Eukaryota. Structurally it is a fatty-acid cis-trans isomerase.
