Catalysis of an oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction in which hydrogen or electrons are transferred from each of two donors, and molecular oxygen is reduced or incorporated into a donor. Catalysis of the reaction: linoleoyl-CoA + reduced acceptor + O2 = gamma-linolenoyl-CoA + acceptor + 2 H2O. Catalysis of an oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction in which hydrogen or electrons are transferred from each of two donors, and molecular oxygen is reduced to two molecules of water.
