Sphinganine C4-monooxygenase (EC 1.14.13.169, sphingolipid C4-hydroxylase, SUR2 (gene), SBH1 (gene), SBH2 (gene)) is an enzyme with systematic name sphinganine,NADPH:oxygen oxidoreductase (C4-hydroxylating).[1][2][3] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

sphinganine + NADPH + H+ + O2 [math]\displaystyle{ \rightleftharpoons }[/math] phytosphingosine + NADP+ + H2O

Sphinganine C4-monooxygenase is involved in the biosynthesis of sphingolipids in yeast and plants.
