Fatty aldehyde dehydrogenase, the enzyme downstream of tetrahydrobiopterin-dependent alkylglycerol monooxygenase

The tetrahydrobiopterin-dependent degradation of ether lipids by alkylglycerol monooxygenase (AGMO) produces fatty aldehydes, which are toxic to cells. Therefore, it is of great physiological importance that these harmful compounds are converted into their corresponding, less toxic fatty acids by fa...
