| Gene Full Name |
serine palmitoyltransferase long chain base subunit 3 |
| Gene Summary |
This gene encodes a subunit of the serine palmitoyltransferase complex which catalyzes the rate-limiting step in sphingolipid biosynthesis. This subunit metabolizes lauroyl- and myristoyl-CoA and generates C14 and C16-sphingoid bases. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2017] |
