Catalytic activity: Reaction=2 [Fe(II)-cytochrome b5] + an N-(1,2-saturated acyl)sphinganine + 2 H(+) + O2 = 2 [Fe(III)-cytochrome b5] + an N- [(2'R)-hydroxyacyl]sphinganine + H2O; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:46512, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:10438, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:10439, ChEBI:CHEBI:15377, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:15379, ChEBI:CHEBI:29033, ChEBI:CHEBI:29034, ChEBI:CHEBI:86265, ChEBI:CHEBI:86266; EC=1.14.18.7; Evidence={ECO:0000305|PubMed:9368039};
Catalytic activity: Reaction=2 [Fe(II)-cytochrome b5] + 2 H(+) + N-hexacosanoyl-(4R)- hydroxysphinganine + O2 = 2 [Fe(III)-cytochrome b5] + H2O + N-(2- hydroxyhexacosanyl)-(4R)-hydroxysphinganine; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:33663, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:10438, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:10439, ChEBI:CHEBI:15377, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:15379, ChEBI:CHEBI:29033, ChEBI:CHEBI:29034, ChEBI:CHEBI:52374, ChEBI:CHEBI:52980; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:16652392, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9353282, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9368039}; PhysiologicalDirection=left-to-right; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:33664; Evidence={ECO:0000305|PubMed:16652392, ECO:0000305|PubMed:9353282, ECO:0000305|PubMed:9368039};
Cofactor: Name=Zn(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:29105; Evidence={ECO:0000305|PubMed:26515067}; Note=Binds 2 Zn(2+) ions per subunit that likely form a catalytic dimetal center. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:26515067};
Pathway: Sphingolipid metabolism. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12006573, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16652392, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19074599, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26977056, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9353282, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9368039, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9559540}.
Subcellular location: Endoplasmic reticulum membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14562095}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14562095}.
Domain: The histidine box domains may contain the active site and/or be involved in metal ion binding.
Disruption phenotype: Causes a lack of alpha-hydroxylated very long chain fatty acids in yeast sphingolipids. This confers resistance to syringomycin E, an antifungal cyclic lipodepsinonapeptide produced by Pseudomonas syringae. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10922463}.
Miscellaneous: Present with 3290 molecules/cell in log phase SD medium. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14562106}.
Similarity: Belongs to the sterol desaturase family. SCS7 subfamily. {ECO:0000305}.
