the enzyme expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae converts 4-hydroxy-sphinganine (phytosphinganine) into a 7:1 mixture of (4R,8E)- and (4R,8Z)-4-hydroxy-8-sphingenine. Both desaturation steps leading to either the 8E or the 8Z isomer of 4-hydroxy-8-sphingenine involved the syn elimination of two vicinal hydrogen atoms
