Short Name | Acid_ceramidase_N |
description | This entry represents the N-terminal domain of acid ceramidase (AC), which degrades ceramide into sphingosine and fatty acid [], and N-acylethanolamine-hydrolysing acid amidase (NAAA). NAAA is an N-acylethanolamine-hydrolysing enzyme that shows structural and functional similarity to acid ceramidase []. AC and NAAA can be cleaved into two chains: alpha and beta [, ]. This entry represent the beta subunit (chain). |
