epitope corresponding to amino acids 238-474 mapping near the C-terminus of Ceramide Kinase of human origin
Modification Notes
Ceramide Kinase, also known as CERK, LK4 (lipid kinase 4) or acylsphingosine kinase, is a 537 amino acid peripheral membrane protein that localizes to both the membrane and the cytoplasm and contains one DAGHc domain. Highly expressed in brain, liver, kidney, heart and skeletal muscle, with lower expression in spleen, lung, thymus and small intestine, Ceramide Kinase uses calcium and magnesium as cofactors to catalyze the ATP-dependent conversion of Ceramide to Ceramide 1-phosphate (C1P), a sphingolipid metabolite. Ceramide Kinase functions at an optimal pH of 6-7.5 and, via its catalytic activity, plays an important role in a variety of cellular processes, including apoptosis, phagocytosis and cellular proliferation.
