NCIt synonyms : Long Chain Base Biosynthesis Protein 1; Serine C-Palmitoyltransferase; EC 2.3.1.50; Serine-Palmitoyl-CoA Transferase 1; SPT1; LCB 1; SPT 1;
NCIt definition : Serine palmitoyltransferase 1 (473 aa, 53 kDa) is encoded by the human SPTLC1 gene.
This protein plays a role in the biosynthesis of sphingolipids.;
NCIt note : Serine palmitoyltransferase 1 forms a heterodimer with either serine palmitoyltransferase
2 or serine palmitoyltransferase 3 to form the catalytic core of the serine palmitoyltransferase
(SPT) complex. (UniProt);
