Description

sphingomyelin synthase 1

Gene Summary

Enables ceramide phosphoethanolamine synthase activity and sphingomyelin synthase activity. Involved in sphingomyelin biosynthetic process. Acts upstream of or within ceramide biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in Golgi trans cisterna. Predicted to be active in Golgi membrane; endoplasmic reticulum membrane; and plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; ear; limb; and respiratory system. Orthologous to human SGMS1 (sphingomyelin synthase 1).
