Protein attributes

Sequence length	622 AA.
Sequence status	Complete.
Protein existence	Evidence at transcript level

General annotation (Comments)

Function	May hydrolyze the sphingolipid ceramide into sphingosine and free fatty acid By similarity.
Catalytic activity	N-acylsphingosine + H2O = a carboxylate + sphingosine.
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the neutral ceramidase family.
Caution	In contrast to other mammalian members of the family, ASAH2C has no predicted transmembrane domain.
