About Cers6

Summary

Enables sphingosine N-acyltransferase activity. Acts upstream of or within ceramide biosynthetic process. Located in endoplasmic reticulum. Is expressed in blastocyst; early embryo; genitourinary system; and limb mesenchyme. Orthologous to human CERS6 (ceramide synthase 6). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
