SPTLC2 - serine palmitoyltransferase long chain base subunit 2 Gene
Also Known as LCB2; SPT2; HSN1C; LCB2A; NSAN1C; hLCB2a
Species: Homo sapiens
About SPTLC2
This gene has 10 transcripts (splice variants), 281 orthologues, 5 paralogues and is associated with 3 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in esophagus (RPKM 11.7), colon (RPKM 11.4) and 25 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes a long chain base subunit of serine palmitoyltransferase. Serine palmitoyltransferase, which consists of two different subunits, is the key enzyme in sphingolipid biosynthesis. It catalyzes the pyridoxal-5-prime-phosphate-dependent condensation of L-serine and palmitoyl-CoA to 3-oxosphinganine. Mutations in this gene were identified in patients with hereditary sensory neuropathy type I. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2011]
