EC 1.14.16.5 Details

show Brenda entry

EC number

1.14.16.5

Accepted name

alkylglycerol monooxygenase

Reaction

1-O-alkyl-sn-glycerol + a 5,6,7,8-tetrahydropteridine + O₂ = 1-O-(1-hydroxyalkyl)-sn-glycerol + a 4a-hydroxy-5,6,7,8-tetrahydropteridine

Other name(s)

glyceryl-ether monooxygenase, glyceryl-ether cleaving enzyme, glyceryl ether oxygenase, glyceryl etherase, O-alkylglycerol monooxygenase

Systematic name

1-alkyl-sn-glycerol,tetrahydrobiopteridine:oxygen oxidoreductase

CAS registry number

37256-82-9

Comment

The enzyme cleaves alkylglycerols, but does not cleave alkenylglycerols (plasmalogens). Requires non-heme iron [7], reduced glutathione and phospholipids for full activity. The product spontaneously breaks down to form a fatty aldehyde and glycerol. The co-product, 4a-hydroxytetrahydropteridine, is rapidly dehydrated to 6,7-dihydropteridine, either spontaneously or by EC 4.2.1.96, 4a-hydroxytetrahydrobiopterin dehydratase.

History

created 1972 as EC 1.14.99.17, transferred 1976 to EC 1.14.16.5, modified 2010, modified 2020
