ID 1.14.16.5 DE alkylglycerol monooxygenase. AN glyceryl etherase. AN glyceryl-ether cleaving enzyme. AN glyceryl-ether monooxygenase. CA (6R)-L-erythro-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrobiopterin + 1-O-(1,2-saturated-alkyl)- CA sn-glycerol + O2 = (6R)-L-erythro-6,7-dihydrobiopterin + CA a 1-(1-hydroxyalkyl)-sn-glycerol + 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.
