Gene name

ACER2 (HGNC Symbol)

Synonyms

ASAH3L, FLJ41587

Description

Alkaline ceramidase 2 (HGNC Symbol)

Entrez gene summary

The sphingolipid metabolite sphingosine-1-phosphate promotes cell proliferation and survival, whereas its precursor, sphingosine, has the opposite effect. The ceramidase ACER2 hydrolyzes very long chain ceramides to generate sphingosine (Xu et al., 2006 [PubMed 16940153]).[supplied by OMIM, Jul 2010]
