About Cers2

Summary

Predicted to enable sphingosine N-acyltransferase activity. Involved in negative regulation of Schwann cell migration; negative regulation of Schwann cell proliferation involved in axon regeneration; and negative regulation of axon regeneration. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum membrane and nucleus. Predicted to be integral component of membrane. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum. Orthologous to human CERS2 (ceramide synthase 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
