Gene information for KDSR (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID2531
Official gene symbolKDSR
Full name3-ketodihydrosphingosine reductase
Aliases,DHSR,FLJ36555,FLJ92680,FVT1,SDR35C1,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene catalyzes the reduction of 3-ketodihydrosphingosine to dihydrosphingosine. The putative active site residues of the encoded protein are found on the cytosolic side of the endoplasmic reticulum membrane. A chromosomal rearrangement involving this gene is a cause of follicular lymphoma, also known as type II chronic lymphatic leukemia. The mutation of a conserved residue in the bovine ortholog causes spinal muscular atrophy. [provided by RefSeq]
