Background
This gene encodes a bifunctional enzyme that is involved in the biosynthesis of phytosphingolipids in human skin and in other phytosphingolipid-containing tissues. This enzyme can act as a sphingolipid delta(4)-desaturase, and also as a sphingolipid C4-hydroxylase. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008],
Function
function:Bifunctional enzyme which acts as both a sphingolipid delta(4)-desaturase and a sphingolipid C4-hydroxylase.,induction:Up-regulated during keratinocyte differentiation. Not expressed at day 0 or day 3 after differentiation, detected on day 6 and increases by day 9.,pathway:Membrane lipid metabolism; sphingolipid biosynthesis.,similarity:Belongs to the fatty acid desaturase family. DEGS subfamily.,tissue specificity:Highly expressed in skin, intestine and kidney.,
