Gene information for ACER2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID340485
Official gene symbolACER2
Full namealkaline ceramidase 2
Aliases,ASAH3L,FLJ41587,
Gene summaryThe sphingolipid metabolite sphingosine-1-phosphate promotes cell proliferation and survival, whereas its precursor, sphingosine, has the opposite effect. The ceramidase ACER2 hydrolyzes very long chain ceramides to generate sphingosine (Xu et al., 2006 [PubMed 16940153]).[supplied by OMIM]
