tetracosanoyl-CoA + (4R)-hydroxysphinganine = N-tetracosanoyl-(4R)-hydroxysphinganine + CoA + H(+)
N-tetracosanoyl-(4R)-hydroxysphinganine + NADPH + O2 + H(+) = N-(2-hydroxytetracosanoyl)-(4R)-hydroxysphinganine + NADP(+) + H2O
N-tetracosanoylsphinganine + 2 Fe(II)-[cytochrome b5] + O2 + 2 H(+) = N-tetracosanoyl-(4R)-hydroxysphinganine + 2 Fe(III)-[cytochrome b5] + H2O
N-tetracosanoyl-(4R)-hydroxysphinganine + H2O = tetracosanoate + (4R)-hydroxysphinganine
