Protein
Sphingosine-1-phosphate lyase
Organism
Drosophila melanogaster
Function
Cleaves phosphorylated sphingoid bases (PSBs), such as sphingosine-1-phosphate, into fatty aldehydes and phosphoethanolamine. Sphingolipid catabolism is required for normal development including viability, reproduction and muscle development.
Similarity
Belongs to the group II decarboxylase family. Sphingosine-1-phosphate lyase subfamily.
