Target Name
SPTLC2
Target Full Name
Serine palmitoyltransferase 2
Target Function
Serine palmitoyltransferase (SPT). The heterodimer formed with LCB1/SPTLC1 constitutes the catalytic core. The composition of the serine palmitoyltransferase (SPT) complex determines the substrate preference. The SPTLC1-SPTLC2-SPTSSA complex shows a strong preference for C16-CoA substrate, while the SPTLC1-SPTLC2-SPTSSB complex displays a preference for C18-CoA substrate. Plays an important role in de novo sphyngolipid biosynthesis which is crucial for adipogenesis.
Target Involvement
Neuropathy, hereditary sensory and autonomic, 1C (HSAN1C)
Target Subcellular Location
Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Single-pass membrane protein.
Target Protein Families
Class-II pyridoxal-phosphate-dependent aminotransferase family
Target Tissue Specificity
Widely expressed.
Target Research Area
Cancer

Target Background
This gene encodes a long chain base subunit of serine palmitoyltransferase. Serine palmitoyltransferase, which consists of two different subunits, is the key enzyme in sphingolipid biosynthesis. It catalyzes the pyridoxal-5-prime-phosphate-dependent condensation of L-serine and palmitoyl-CoA to 3-oxosphinganine. Mutations in this gene were identified in patients with hereditary sensory neuropathy type I.
