kei1

Gene
kei1
Protein
Inositol phosphorylceramide synthase regulatory subunit kei1
Organism
Schizosaccharomyces pombe (strain 972 / ATCC 24843)
Length
236 amino acids
Function
Regulatory component of the inositol phosphorylceramide (ICP) synthase which catalyzes the addition of a phosphorylinositol group onto ceramide to form inositol phosphorylceramide, an essential step in sphingolipid biosynthesis. Helps the medial Golgi localization of IPC synthase in a COPI vesicle-dependent manner (By similarity).
Similarity
Belongs to the KEI1 family.
Mass
27.112 kDa
