Target Information

Gene Name
CERK
Gene ID
UniProt No.
Gene Function
Catalyzes specifically the phosphorylation of ceramide to form ceramide 1-phosphate. Acts efficiently on natural and analog ceramides (C6, C8, C16 ceramides, and C8-dihydroceramide), to a lesser extent on C2-ceramide and C6-dihydroceramide, but not on other lipids, such as various sphingosines. Binds phosphoinositides.
Sequence Similarities
Contains 1 DAGKc domain.

Storage & Handling
