| Chromosome | 8 | NCBI Gene Number | 67260 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables sphingosine N-acyltransferase activity. Acts upstream of or within ceramide biosynthetic process. Located in endoplasmic reticulum. Is expressed in nervous system; nose; oral epithelium; and skin. Orthologous to human CERS4 (ceramide synthase 4). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit altered lipid composition of the sebum and hair follicle dystrophy that results in a progressive form of alopecia.
