ID   1.14.16.5
DE   alkylglycerol monooxygenase.
AN   glyceryl etherase.
AN   glyceryl-ether cleaving enzyme.
AN   glyceryl-ether monooxygenase.
CA   1-O-(1,2-saturated-alkyl)-sn-glycerol + (6R)-L-erythro-5,6,7,8-
CA   tetrahydrobiopterin + O2 = a 1-(1-hydroxyalkyl)-sn-glycerol + (6R)-L-
CA   erythro-6,7-dihydrobiopterin + H2O.
CC   -!- The enzyme cleaves alkylglycerols, but does not cleave
CC       alkenylglycerols (plasmalogens).
CC   -!- Requires phospholipids for full activity.
CC   -!- The product spontaneously breaks down to form a fatty aldehyde and
CC       glycerol.
CC   -!- Formerly EC 1.14.99.17.
