Gene information for SPTSSB (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID165679
Official gene symbolSPTSSB
Full namechromosome 3 open reading frame 57
Aliases,ADMP,C3orf57,SSSPTB,
Gene summarySerine palmitoyltransferase (SPT; EC 2.3.1.50) catalyzes the first committed and rate-limiting step in sphingolipid biosynthesis. SSSPTB is a small SPT subunit that stimulates SPT activity and confers acyl-CoA preference to the SPT catalytic heterodimer of SPTLC1 (MIM 605712) and either SPTLC2 (MIM 605713) or SPTLC3 (MIM 611120) (Han et al., 2009 [PubMed 19416851]).[supplied by OMIM]
