Name Serine palmitoyltransferase 1
Synonyms
  1. LCB 1
  2. Long chain base biosynthesis protein 1
  3. SPT 1
  4. SPT1
  5. Serine-palmitoyl-CoA transferase 1
Gene Name SPTLC1
Protein Type Enzyme
Biological Properties
General Function Involved in transferase activity, transferring nitrogenous groups
Specific Function Serine palmitoyltransferase (SPT). The heterodimer formed with SPTLC2 or SPTLC3 constitutes the catalytic core. The composition of the serine palmitoyltransferase (SPT) complex determines the substrate preference. The SPTLC1-SPTLC2-SPTSSA complex shows a strong preference for C16-CoA substrate, while the SPTLC1-SPTLC3-SPTSSA isozyme uses both C14-CoA and C16-CoA as substrates, with a slight preference for C14-CoA. The SPTLC1-SPTLC2-SPTSSB complex shows a strong preference for C18-CoA substrate, while the SPTLC1-SPTLC3-SPTSSB isozyme displays an ability to use a broader range of acyl-CoAs, without apparent preference.
