Primary Identifier | MGI:1920932 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 4 | NCBI Gene Number | 230379 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables N-acylsphingosine amidohydrolase activity. Involved in sphingosine biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in Golgi apparatus. Predicted to be active in Golgi membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including heart; hemolymphoid system; liver; lung; and stomach. Orthologous to human ACER2 (alkaline ceramidase 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit a reduction of sphingoid bases and their phosphates in whole blood, plasma, erythrocytes, and platelets. [provided by MGI curators] |
