HMDB Protein ID HMDBP10638
Secondary Accession Numbers
  • 16867
Name Alkaline ceramidase 1
Synonyms
  1. Acylsphingosine deacylase 3
  2. AlkCDase 1
  3. Alkaline CDase 1
  4. N-acylsphingosine amidohydrolase 3
Gene Name ACER1
Protein Type Enzyme
Biological Properties
General Function Involved in hydrolase activity, acting on carbon-nitrogen (but not peptide) bonds, in linear amides
Specific Function Hydrolyzes the sphingolipid ceramide into sphingosine and free fatty acid at an optimal pH of 8.0. Has a highly restricted substrate specificity for the natural stereoisomer of ceramide with D-erythro-sphingosine but not D-ribo-phytosphingosine or D-erythro-dihydrosphingosine as a backbone. May have a role in regulating the levels of bioactive lipids ceramide and sphingosine 1-phosphate, as well as complex sphingolipids (By similarity).
