FAM57B

Gene
Fam57b
Protein
Ceramide synthase
Organism
Mus musculus
Length
275 amino acids
Function
Involved in ceramide synthesis. In vitro, isoform 3 stimulates the production of C16-, C18- and C20-ceramides, isoform 1 slightly increases the levels of C18- and C20-ceramides, while isoform 2 exhibits only minimal activity. May interfere with adipogenesis by stimulating ceramide synthesis.
