Summary
Predicted to enable several functions, including ceramide transfer activity; identical protein binding activity; and phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate binding activity. Predicted to be involved in ER to Golgi ceramide transport and intermembrane sphingolipid transfer. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including ceramide metabolic process; in utero embryonic development; and lipid homeostasis. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including Golgi apparatus; nucleoplasm; and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant intellectual developmental disorder 34. Orthologous to human CERT1 (ceramide transporter 1).

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.
