Asah2 - N-acylsphingosine amidohydrolase 2 Gene

Species: Rattus norvegicus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 114104

Summary

Enables dihydroceramidase activity and phytoceramidase activity. Involved in response to organic substance and sphingolipid metabolic process. Located in extracellular space; mitochondrion; and plasma membrane. Is integral component of plasma membrane. Colocalizes with membrane raft. Orthologous to several human genes including ASAH2B (N-acylsphingosine amidohydrolase 2B). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
