Comments
  • 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.
  • CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: N-acylsphingosine + H2O = a carboxylate + sphingosine.
  • ENZYME REGULATION: Inhibited by sphingosine. Inhibited by Mn(2+), Zn(2+), and Cu(2+) in a dose-dependent manner. Slightly activated by Ca(2+) in a dose-dependent manner.
  • BIOPHYSICOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES:
    pH dependence:   Optimum pH is 8.0;
  • SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
  • TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Highly expressed in skin. Weakly or not expressed in other tissues.
  • SIMILARITY: Belongs to the alkaline ceramidase family.
