CERS2  
    


    
      Official symbol:  CERS2
      Full name:  ceramide synthase 2
      Location:  1q21.3
      Also known as:  FLJ10243, LASS2, SP260
      Entrez ID:  29956
      Ensembl ID:  ENSG00000143418
      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]
