Gene information for CERS2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID29956
Official gene symbolCERS2
Full nameLAG1 homolog, ceramide synthase 2
Aliases,L3,LASS2,SP260,TMSG1,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a protein that has sequence similarity to yeast longevity assurance gene 1. Mutation or overexpression of the related gene in yeast has been shown to alter yeast lifespan. The human protein may play a role in the regulation of cell growth. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been described. [provided by RefSeq]
