Protein
Sphinganine C4-monooxygenase 2
Organism
Arabidopsis thaliana
Function
Involved in sphingolipid trihydroxy long-chain base (4-hydroxysphinganine) biosynthesis. Can use C18- and C20-sphinganine as substrates to produce C18- and C20-phytosphinganines (D-ribo-2-amino-1,3,4-trihydroxyoctadecane and -eicosane).
Similarity
Belongs to the sterol desaturase family.
