Abstract excerpt
Serine palmitoyltransferase catalyzes the first step of sphingolipid synthesis, condensation of serine and palmitoyl CoA to form the long chain base 3-ketosphinganine. The LCB1/TSC2 and LCB2/TSC1 genes encode homologous proteins of the alpha-oxoamine synthase family required for serine palmitoyltransferase activity. The other alpha-oxoamine synthases are soluble homodimers, but serine palmitoyltransferase is a...
