Title : Upstream of growth and differentiation factor 1 (uog1), a mammalian homolog of the yeast longevity assurance gene 1 (LAG1), regulates N-stearoyl-sphinganine (C18-(dihydro)ceramide) synthesis in a fumonisin B1-independent manner in mammalian cells.

1 The longevity assurance gene (LAG1) and its homolog (LAC1) are required for acyl-CoA-dependent synthesis of ceramides containing very long acyl chain (e.g. C26) fatty acids in yeast, and a homolog of LAG1, ASC1, confers resistance in plants to fumonisin B(1), an inhibitor of ceramide synthesis.
