CofactorName=Fe cation; Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:24875; Evidence={ECO:0000250};
DomainThe histidine box domains may contain the active site and/or be involved in metal ion binding.
FunctionCeramide hydroxylase involved in the alpha-hydroxylation of sphingolipid-associated very long chain fatty acids. Hydroxylates the very long chain fatty acid of ceramides at C2 and C3. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12006573, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16652392, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19074599, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9353282, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9368039, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9559540}.
