Summary
Predicted to enable several functions, including ceramide 1-phosphate transfer activity; identical protein binding activity; and phospholipid 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; lipid homeostasis; and mitochondrion morphogenesis. Predicted to be located in mitochondrion and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of collagen trimer. Predicted to be active in Golgi apparatus and cytosol. Predicted to colocalize with perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant non-syndromic intellectual disability 34. Orthologous to human CERT1 (ceramide transporter 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

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.
