Serine C-Palmitoyltransferase

Long Chain Base Biosynthesis Protein 1; Long Chain Base Biosynthesis Protein 2; Palmitoyl-CoA-L-Serine C-Palmitoyltransferase (Decarboxylating); Palmitoyl-Coenzyme A-L-Serine C-Palmitoyltransferase (Decarboxylating); Serine Palmitoyltransferase
A key enzyme in SPHINGOLIPIDS biosynthesis, this enzyme catalyzes the pyridoxal-5'-phosphate-dependent condensation of L-SERINE and PALMITOYL COENZYME A to 3-dehydro-D-sphinganine. The enzyme consists of two different subunits.
