CERS2 - ceramide synthase 2 Gene
Also Known as L3; LASS2; SP260; TMSG1
Species: Homo sapiens
About CERS2
This gene has 14 transcripts (splice variants), 275 orthologues and 5 paralogues. Ubiquitous expression in liver (RPKM 113.9), adrenal (RPKM 85.4) and 25 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes a protein that has sequence similarity to yeast longevity assurance gene 1. Mutation or overexpression of the related gene in yeast has been shown to alter yeast lifespan. The human protein may play a role in the regulation of cell growth. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
