Cers5 - ceramide synthase 5 Gene

Also Known as Trh4; Lass5; 2310081H14Rik

Species: Mus musculus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 71949

Summary

Enables sphingosine N-acyltransferase activity. Involved in ceramide biosynthetic process. Acts upstream of or within sphingolipid biosynthetic process. Located in endoplasmic reticulum. Is expressed in several structures, including cardiovascular system; central nervous system; early conceptus; genitourinary system; and gut. Orthologous to human CERS5 (ceramide synthase 5).
