ORMDL3 Gene

ORMDL sphingolipid biosynthesis regulator 3

Involved in ceramide metabolic process. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including negative regulation of B cell apoptotic process; negative regulation of ceramide biosynthetic process; and positive regulation of protein localization to nucleus. Located in endoplasmic reticulum. Part of serine palmitoyltransferase complex. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

ORMDL1 Gene

ORMDL sphingolipid biosynthesis regulator 1

Involved in ceramide metabolic process. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of ceramide biosynthetic process. Located in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

DEGS1 Gene

delta(4)-desaturase, sphingolipid 1

This gene encodes a member of the membrane fatty acid desaturase family which is responsible for inserting double bonds into specific positions in fatty acids. This protein contains three His-containing consensus motifs that are characteristic of a group of membrane fatty acid desaturases. It is predicted to be a multiple membrane-spanning protein localized to the endoplasmic reticulum. Overexpression of this gene inhibited biosynthesis of the EGF receptor, suggesting a possible role of a fatty acid desaturase in regulating biosynthetic processing of the EGF receptor.

DEGS2 Gene

delta(4)-desaturase, sphingolipid 2

This gene encodes a bifunctional enzyme that is involved in the biosynthesis of phytosphingolipids in human skin and in other phytosphingolipid-containing tissues. This enzyme can act as a sphingolipid delta(4)-desaturase, and also as a sphingolipid C4-hydroxylase. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]

SCAMPER Gene

sphingolipid Ca2+ release mediating protein of endoplasmic reticulum
