CERS5, Official Symbol CERS5provided by HGNC Official Full Name ceramide synthase 5provided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:23749 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000139624 MIM:615335; AllianceGenome:HGNC:23749 Gene type protein coding RefSeq status REVIEWED Organism Homo sapiens Lineage Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo Also known as Trh4; LASS5 Summary This gene encodes a protein that belongs to the TLC (TRAM, LAG1 and CLN8 homology domains) family of proteins. The encoded protein functions in the synthesis of ceramide, a lipid molecule that is involved in a several cellular signaling pathways. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
