    motifs/domains
  • fatty acid hydroxylase motif, motif found in enzymes which contain a di-iron center and which carry out hydroxylations of lipids at aliphatic carbon atoms like alkylglycerol monooxygenase
  • HOMOLOGY
    Homologene
    FAMILY
  • tetrahydrobiopterin-dependent enzymes family
  • TMEM195 family
  • CATEGORY enzyme
    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION     plasma membrane
    basic FUNCTION
  • having a catalytic activity
  • regulatory enzyme in lipogenesis, catalyzing the rate-limiting step in the overall de novo synthesis of mono-unsaturated FA, mainly oleate and palmitoleate from stearoyl- and palmitoyl-CoA, respectively
  • cleave the O-alkyl bond of ether lipids which are essential components of brain membranes, protect the eye from cataract, interfere or mediate signaling processes, and are required for spermatogenesis
  • only enzyme known to degrade the ether bond of lipids without known restrictions to their subclass, and may contribute to regulation of the concentration of these lipids
