Identification
HMDB Protein ID HMDBP12085
Secondary Accession Numbers None
Name Phosphatidylinositol:ceramide inositolphosphotransferase
Synonyms
  1. Inositol-phosphorylceramide synthase
  2. Sphingolipid synthase
  3. IPC synthase
Gene Name SLS1
Protein Type Unknown
Biological Properties
General Function Not Available
Specific Function Bidirectional lipid inositolphosphotransferase capable of converting phosphatidylinositol (PI) and ceramide to inositol-phosphorylceramide (IPC) and diacylglycerol (DAG) and vice versa. Direction is dependent on the relative concentrations of DAG and ceramide as phosphoinositol acceptors. Does not function strictly as a SM synthase. Essential for viability of the pathogenic bloodstream stage of this human protozoan parasite and, consequently, can be considered as potential drug target (By similarity).
