    Summary
    Enables N-acylsphingosine amidohydrolase activity. Involved in sphingosine biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in Golgi apparatus. Predicted to be active in Golgi membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including heart; hemolymphoid system; liver; lung; and stomach. Orthologous to human ACER2 (alkaline ceramidase 2).

    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.
