Ceramide synthase LAC1

UniProtKB accession:  P28496

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Component of the ceramide synthase complex that catalyzes the transfer of the acyl chain from acyl-CoA to a sphingoid base, with high selectivity toward hexacosanoyl-CoA (C26:0-CoA) (PubMed:15692566, PubMed:11694577). N-acylates sphinganine and phytosphingosine bases to form dihydroceramides and phytoceramides, respectively (PubMed:15692566, PubMed:11694577). Redundant with LAG1. Facilitates ER-to-Golgi transport of GPI-anchored proteins.
