Identification
HMDB Protein ID HMDBP02779
Secondary Accession Numbers
  • 8285
Name Ceramide synthase 1
Synonyms
  1. Longevity assurance gene 1 protein homolog 1
  2. Protein UOG-1
  3. CerS1
  4. LAG1 longevity assurance homolog 1
Gene Name CERS1
Protein Type Enzyme
Biological Properties
General Function Involved in sphingosine N-acyltransferase activity
Specific Function May be either a bona fide (dihydro)ceramide synthase or a modulator of its activity. When overexpressed in cells is involved in the production of sphingolipids containing mainly one fatty acid donor (N-linked stearoyl- (C18) ceramide) in a fumonisin B1-independent manner (By similarity).
Pathways
