About Cers3

Summary

Enables sphingosine N-acyltransferase activity. Involved in ceramide biosynthetic process and cornification. Acts upstream of or within sphingolipid biosynthetic process. Located in endoplasmic reticulum. Is expressed in epidermis; epidermis stratum granulosum; epidermis stratum spinosum; and face skin. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis 9. Orthologous to human CERS3 (ceramide synthase 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
