Target Name
CERS6
Target Full Name
Ceramide synthase 6
Target Function
Ceramide synthase that catalyzes the transfer of the acyl chain from acyl-CoA to a sphingoid base, with high selectivity toward palmitoyl-CoA (hexadecanoyl-CoA; C16:0-CoA). Can use other acyl donors, but with less efficiency. N-acylates sphinganine and sphingosine bases to form dihydroceramides and ceramides in de novo synthesis and salvage pathways, respectively. Ceramides generated by CERS6 play a role in inflammatory response. Acts as a regulator of metabolism and hepatic lipid accumulation. Under high fat diet, palmitoyl- (C16:0-) ceramides generated by CERS6 specifically bind the mitochondrial fission factor MFF, thereby promoting mitochondrial fragmentation and contributing to the development of obesity.
Target Subcellular Location
Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
