Acer1 - alkaline ceramidase 1 Gene

Also Known as Cer1; Asah3; Alkcdase1; 2310024P18Rik

Species: Mus musculus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 171168

Summary

Enables N-acylsphingosine amidohydrolase activity. Involved in regulation of water loss via skin; sebaceous gland development; and sphingosine biosynthetic process. Acts upstream of or within ceramide catabolic process and regulation of lipid metabolic process. Located in endoplasmic reticulum. Orthologous to human ACER1 (alkaline Ceramidase 1).
