Gene

LAG1

Species
Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Symbol
LAG1
Name
Longevity Assurance Gene
Synonyms
  • YHL003C
Biotype
protein coding gene
Automated Description
Enables sphingosine N-acyltransferase activity. Involved in ceramide biosynthetic process. Located in endoplasmic reticulum. Part of acyl-CoA ceramide synthase complex. Used to study hepatocellular carcinoma; steatotic liver disease; and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis 9. Orthologous to several human genes including CERS2 (ceramide synthase 2); CERS3 (ceramide synthase 3); and CERS4 (ceramide synthase 4).
SGD Description
Ceramide synthase component; involved in synthesis of ceramide from C26(acyl)-coenzyme A and dihydrosphingosine or phytosphingosine, functionally equivalent to Lac1p; forms ER foci upon DNA replication stress; homolog of human CERS2, a tumor metastasis suppressor gene whose silencing enhances invasion/metastasis of prostate cancer cells; LAG1 has a paralog, LAC1, that arose from the whole genome duplication
