Entrez ID 165679
Gene name Serine palmitoyltransferase small subunit B
Gene symbol SPTSSB
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
ADMPC3orf57SSSPTB
Chromosome 3
Chromosome location 3q26.1
Summary Serine palmitoyltransferase (SPT; EC 2.3.1.50) catalyzes the first committed and rate-limiting step in sphingolipid biosynthesis. SSSPTB is a small SPT subunit that stimulates SPT activity and confers acyl-CoA preference to the SPT catalytic heterodimer o
