C14orf147SPG90ASPG90BSSSPTA
Chromosome 14
Chromosome location 14q13.1
Summary Serine palmitoyltransferase (SPT; EC 2.3.1.50) catalyzes the first committed and rate-limiting step in sphingolipid biosynthesis. SSSPTA is a small SPT subunit that stimulates SPT activity and confers acyl-CoA preference to the SPT catalytic heterodimer o

Protein name Serine palmitoyltransferase small subunit A (Small subunit of serine palmitoyltransferase A) (ssSPTa)
Protein function Component of the serine palmitoyltransferase multisubunit enzyme (SPT) that catalyzes the initial and rate-limiting step in sphingolipid biosynthesis by condensing L-serine and activated acyl-CoA (most commonly palmitoyl-CoA) to form long-chain
