Primary Identifier | MGI:1914880 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 14 | NCBI Gene Number | 67630 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables ceramide phosphoethanolamine synthase activity. Acts upstream of or within ceramide biosynthetic process and ceramide phosphoethanolamine biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in cytosol and endoplasmic reticulum. Predicted to be active in Golgi membrane; endoplasmic reticulum membrane; and plasma membrane. Orthologous to human SAMD8 (sterile alpha motif domain containing 8). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit decreased ceramide phosphoethanolamine synthase activity but normal liver, kidney and spleen histology. [provided by MGI curators] |
