Gene information for SPTSSA (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID171546
Official gene symbolSPTSSA
Full namechromosome 14 open reading frame 147
Aliases,C14orf147,SSSPTA,
Gene summarySerine palmitoyltransferase (SPT; EC 2.3.1.50) catalyzes the first committed and rate-limiting step in sphingolipid biosynthesis. SSSPTA 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]
