GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
CERS2 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
FLJ10243, LASS2, SP260
Description
Ceramide synthase 2 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a protein that has sequence similarity to yeast longevity assurance gene 1. Mutation or overexpression of the related gene in yeast has been shown to alter yeast lifespan. The human protein may play a role in the regulation of cell growth. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
