Biotype
gene
Automated Description
Predicted to enable serine C-palmitoyltransferase activity. Predicted to be involved in ceramide biosynthetic process and sphingosine biosynthetic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within biosynthetic process and sphingolipid metabolic process. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy type 1A and juvenile amyotrophic lateral sclerosis type 27. Orthologous to human SPTLC1 (serine palmitoyltransferase long chain base subunit 1).
