General annotation (Comments)

Function

Component of the ceramide synthase complex required for C26-CoA-dependent ceramide synthesis. Redundant with LAC1. Facilitates ER-to-Golgi transport of GPI-anchored proteins. Involved in the aging process. Deletion of LAG1 results in a pronounced increase (approximately 50%) in mean and in maximum life span. Ref.7 Ref.8 Ref.9 Ref.13 Ref.14

Catalytic activity

Acyl-CoA + sphingosine = CoA + N-acylsphingosine.

Subcellular location

Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein By similarity Ref.11.

Induction

Expression is controlled by CBF1. Ref.12

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the sphingosine N-acyltransferase family.

Contains 1 TLC (TRAM/LAG1/CLN8) domain.
