Summary: Predicted to contribute to serine C-palmitoyltransferase activity. Predicted to be involved in ceramide biosynthetic process; protein localization; and sphingosine biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum. Predicted to be part of serine palmitoyltransferase complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hereditary spastic paraplegia 90A and hereditary spastic paraplegia 90B. Orthologous to human SPTSSA (serine palmitoyltransferase small subunit A).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
