Localization

Localization Comment Organism GeneOntology No. Textmining
endoplasmic reticulum membrane Lac1p and Lag1p are integral membrane proteins with six to eight predicted transmembrane domains. Co-subunit Lip1 is also an integral membrane protein, with one transmembrane domain. Its short N-terminal part is cytoplasmic and not required for ceramide synthesis.

Subunits

Subunits Comment Organism
heterotrimer subunits Lac1p, Lag1p, and Lip1p Saccharomyces cerevisiae
More Lag1p, Lac1p and Lip1p comprise the ceramide synthase. Lag1p/Lac1p interacting protein, 28 kDa, Lip1p is an essential component of the ceramide synthase, which forms a heteromeric complex with Lac1p and Lag1p. Lip1p is required for ceramide synthesis in vivo and in vitro. It is possible that Lip1p is modified by O-linked glycosylation. Its short, highly charged N-terminus is cytoplasmic and dispensible for ceramide synthase activity Saccharomyces cerevisiae
