Cers3

Gene
Cers3
Protein
Ceramide synthase 3
Organism
Mus musculus
Length
383 amino acids
Function
Has (dihydro)ceramide synthesis activity with relatively broad substrate specificity, but a preference for C18:0 and other middle- to long-chain fatty acyl-CoAs. It is crucial for the synthesis of very long-chain ceramides in the epidermis, to maintain epidermal lipid homeostasis and terminal differentiation (By similarity).
