About Cers1

Summary

This gene encodes a ceramide synthase enzyme, which catalyzes the synthesis of ceramide, the hydrophobic moiety of sphingolipids. The encoded enzyme synthesizes 18-carbon (C18) ceramide in brain neurons. Mice lacking a functional copy of this gene exhibit impaired cerebellar development, locomotion and motor coordination. This protein is transcribed from a bicistronic mRNA, which also encodes Growth Differentiation Factor 1. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2016]
