Identification
HMDB Protein ID HMDBP12087
Secondary Accession Numbers None
Name Phosphatidylinositol:ceramide inositolphosphotransferase
Synonyms
  1. TcSLS1.1
  2. Inositol-phosphorylceramide synthase
  3. Sphingolipid synthase
  4. IPC synthase
Gene Name (REFSEQ) PHOSPHATIDYLCHOLINE:CERAMIDE CHOLINEPHOSPHOTRANSFERASE 2
Protein Type Unknown
Biological Properties
General Function Not Available
Specific Function Bidirectional lipid inositolphosphotransferase capable of converting phosphatidylinositol (PI) and ceramide to inositol-phosphorylceramide (IPC) and diacylglycerol (DAG) and vice versa. Direction is dependent on the relative concentrations of DAG and ceramide as phosphoinositol acceptors. Essential for viability of the pathogenic bloodstream stage of this human protozoan parasite and, consequently, can be considered as potential drug target.
