Samd8 - sterile alpha motif domain containing 8 Gene

Predicted to enable ceramide cholinephosphotransferase activity; ceramide phosphoethanolamine synthase activity; and sphingomyelin synthase activity. Predicted to be involved in ceramide biosynthetic process and regulation of ceramide biosynthetic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within ceramide phosphoethanolamine biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in cytosol and endoplasmic reticulum. Predicted to be integral component of Golgi membrane; integral component of endoplasmic reticulum membrane; and integral component of plasma membrane. Orthologous to human SAMD8 (sterile alpha motif domain containing 8). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
