NCBI Gene Info:Predicted to enable sphingosine N-acyltransferase activity. Predicted to be involved in ceramide biosynthetic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within lipid metabolic process. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum membrane and nucleus. Predicted to be integral component of membrane. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum. Is expressed in several structures, including digestive system; otic placode; otic vesicle; pectoral fin; and pronephric duct. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis 9. Orthologous to human CERS3 (ceramide synthase 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022] |
