ACER2 Gene Information

HGNC symbol
ACER2 
Aliases
ALKCDase2; ASAH3L; FLJ41587 
Common name
alkaline ceramidase 2 
Entrez Id
340485
Description
The sphingolipid metabolite sphingosine-1-phosphate promotes cell proliferation and survival, whereas its precursor, sphingosine, has the opposite effect. The ceramidase ACER2 hydrolyzes very long chain ceramides to generate sphingosine (Xu et al., 2006 [PubMed 16940153]).[supplied by OMIM, Jul 2010].
