General annotation (Comments)

Function

Hydrolyzes the sphingolipid ceramide into sphingosine and free fatty acid at an optimal pH of 6.5-8.5. Acts as a key regulator of sphingolipid signaling metabolites by generating sphingosine at the cell surface. Essential for the metabolism of ceramide and the early development. Ref.1

Catalytic activity

N-acylsphingosine + H2O = a carboxylate + sphingosine.

Subcellular location

Cell membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein Ref.1.

Post-translational modification

N-glycosylated. Ref.1

O-glycosylated. Ref.1

Disruption phenotype

Fishes display severe embryonic morphological and cellular abnormalities such as abnormal morphogenesis in the head and tail, pericardiac edema, defect of blood cell circulation, and an increase of apoptotic cells, especially in the head and neural tube regions, at 36 hours post-fertilization. Ref.1

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the neutral ceramidase family.
