Type: | Family | Name: | Sphingolipid delta4-desaturase |
Description: | This group represents sphingolipid delta-4 desaturase (DEGS), an integral membrane protein required for sphingosine biosynthesis. It converts D-erythro-sphinganine to D-erythro-sphingosine (E-sphing-4-enine) []. Delta4-desaturated sphingolipids provide an early signal that triggers the entry into both meiotic and spermatid differentiation pathways during Drosophila spermatogenesis []. Dihydroceramide delta(4)-desaturase is a a sphingolipid delta-4 desaturase responsible for the synthesis of sphingosine in Schizosaccharomyces pombe []. | Short Name: | DES1/DES2 |
