MGP005030

Record overview

MGPD IDMGP005030
Gene ID29956
SpeciesHomo sapiens (Human)
Gene Nameceramide synthase 2
Gene Symbol CERS2
SynonymsL3; LASS2; SP260; TMSG1;
Alternate namesceramide synthase 2; LAG1 homolog, ceramide synthase 2; LAG1 longevity assurance 2; longevity assurance (LAG1, S. cerevisiae) homolog 2; tumor metastasis-suppressor gene 1 protein;
Chromosome1
Map Location1q21.3
SummaryThis 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]
