Annotation score:5 out of 5

<p>The annotation score provides a heuristic measure of the annotation content of a UniProtKB entry or proteome. This score <strong>cannot</strong> be used as a measure of the accuracy of the annotation as we cannot define the 'correct annotation' for any given protein.<p><a href='/help/annotation_score' target='_top'>More...</a></p>-Experimental evidence at protein leveli <p>This indicates the type of evidence that supports the existence of the protein.

Endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi ceramidase that catalyzes the hydrolysis of unsaturated long-chain C18:1-, C20:1- and C20:4-ceramides, dihydroceramides and phytoceramides into sphingoid bases like sphingosine and free fatty acids at alkaline pH (PubMed:20068046, PubMed:26792856, PubMed:20207939, PubMed:11356846, PubMed:30575723). Ceramides, sphingosine, and its phosphorylated form sphingosine-1-phosphate are bioactive lipids that mediate cellular signaling pathways regulating several biological processes including cell proliferation, apoptosis and differentiation (PubMed:20068046). Controls the generation of sphingosine in erythrocytes, and thereby sphingosine-1-phosphate in plasma (PubMed:20207939). Through the regulation of ceramides and sphingosine-1-phosphate homeostasis in the brain may play a role in neurons survival and function (By similarity). By regulating the levels of proinflammatory ceramides in immune cells and tissues, may modulate the inflammatory response (By similarity).1 PublicationBy similarity5 Publications

Leukodystrophy, progressive, early childhood-onset (PLDECO)2 Publications
The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Disease descriptionA form of leukodystrophy, a disorder of myelin production or maintenance affecting the central nervous system. PELCO features include neurological regression between 6 and 13 months of age, truncal hypotonia, appendicular spasticity, dystonia, optic disk pallor, peripheral neuropathy and neurogenic bladder. Brain imaging shows progressive diffuse abnormal white matter signals, cerebral atrophy, and thin corpus callosum. Sural nerve biopsy shows decreased myelination. PLDECO inheritance is autosomal recessive.
