Gene ID: 10715

About CERS1

Cytogenetic location: 19p13.11 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 19:18,868,545-18,896,982 (from NCBI)

This gene has 4 transcripts (splice variants), 185 orthologues, 5 paralogues and is associated with 2 phenotypes. Biased expression in brain (RPKM 22.5) and testis (RPKM 5.1).

Summary

This gene encodes a ceramide synthase enzyme, which catalyzes the synthesis of ceramide, the hydrophobic moiety of sphingolipids. The encoded enzyme synthesizes 18-carbon (C18) ceramide in brain neurons. Elevated expression of this gene may be associated with increased longevity, while decreased expression of this gene may be associated with myoclonus epilepsy with dementia in human patients. This protein is transcribed from a monocistronic mRNA as well as a bicistronic mRNA, which also encodes Growth Differentiation Factor 1. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2016]
