Description
Product Characteristics:
Lass5, or LAG1 longevity assurance homolog 5, is thought to be either a bona fide (dihydro)ceramide synthase or a modulator of its activity. When overexpressed in cells is involved in the production of sphingolipids containing mainly one fatty acid donnor ceramide) in a fumonisin B1-independent manner.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm, Nucleus, Cell membrane
Synonyms: LAG1 homolog ceramide synthase 5, LAG1 longevity assurance homolog 5, MGC45411, Trh4, CerS5, FLJ25304, CERS5_HUMAN.
Target Information: May be either a bona fide (dihydro)ceramide synthase or a modulator of its activity.
