Accepted Name |
Alkylglycerol monooxygenase.
|
Alternative Name(s) |
Glyceryl etherase. |
Glyceryl-ether cleaving enzyme. |
Glyceryl-ether monooxygenase. |
Reaction catalysed |
1-alkyl-sn-glycerol + tetrahydrobiopterin + O(2) <=> 1-O-alkyl-sn-glycerol + dihydrobiopterin + H(2)O |
Cofactor(s) |

|
Comment(s) |
- The enzyme cleaves alkylglycerols, but does not cleave
alkenylglycerols (plasmalogens).
- Requires phospholipids for full activity.
