| basic FUNCTION
| dehydrogenase/reductase activity |
|
reduced fatty acids to fatty alcohols  |
|
involved in the metabolism of a large variety of compounds, including steroid hormones, prostaglandins, retinoids, lipids and xenobiotics |
|
FAR1 activity is elevated in plasmalogen-deficient cells, and conversely, the levels of this enzyme are restored to normal upon plasmalogen supplementation |
|
essential for supplying fatty alcohols required for ether bond formation in ether glycerophospholipid synthesis |
|
peroxisomal tail-anchored protein |
|
is a rate-limiting enzyme for plasmalogen synthesis |
|
reduces fatty acids to their respective fatty alcohols for the plasmalogen-biosynthesis pathway |
