Enzyme Commission Number
EC 2.3.1.291
Product Overview
High-quality enzyme products.
Well-established quality management system.
Reaction
palmitoyl-CoA + a sphingoid base = an N-(palmitoyl)-sphingoid base + CoA
Systematic Name
palmitoyl-CoA:sphingoid base N-palmitoyltransferase
Function
Mammals have six ceramide synthases that exhibit relatively strict specificity regarding the chain-length of their acyl-CoA substrates. Ceramide synthase 5 (CERS5) is specific for palmitoyl-CoA as the acyl donor. It can use multiple sphingoid bases including sphinganine, sphingosine, and phytosphingosine.
Other name
mammalian ceramide synthase 5; CERS5 (gene name); LASS5 (gene name)
Production Methods
Fermentation
Package
on customer request
