Entrez Gene summary for CERS2 Gene:

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)

GeneCards Summary for CERS2 Gene:

CERS2 (ceramide synthase 2) is a protein-coding gene. Diseases associated with CERS2 include retinal detachment, and bladder carcinoma. GO annotations related to this gene include sphingosine N-acyltransferase activity and sequence-specific DNA binding transcription factor activity. An important paralog of this gene is CERS4.

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: CERS2_HUMAN, Q96G23

Function: Suppresses the growth of cancer cells. May be involved in sphingolipid synthesis
