Entrez ID 79152
Gene name Fatty acid 2-hydroxylase
Gene symbol FA2H
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
FAAHFAH1FAXDC1SCS7SPG35
Chromosome 16
Chromosome location 16q23.1
Summary This gene encodes a protein that catalyzes the synthesis of 2-hydroxysphingolipids, a subset of sphingolipids that contain 2-hydroxy fatty acids. Sphingolipids play roles in many cellular processes and their structural diversity arises from modification o
