General Information

General Information Comment Organism
malfunction a mutation in ceramide kinase specifically leads to proteolysis of NORPA, consequent loss of phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C activity, and failure in light signal transduction, a significant increase in ceramide, resulting from lack of ceramide kinase, perturbs the membrane microenvironment of phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate, altering its distribution Drosophila melanogaster
physiological function ceramide kinase, is a novel regulator of phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C signaling and photoreceptor homeostasis, DCERK has a diacylglycerol kinase domain and a Ca2+/calmodulin binding domain Drosophila melanogaster
