Serine C-palmitoyltransferase
(重定向自Serine palmitoyltransferase)


In enzymology, a serine C-palmitoyltransferase (EC2.3.1.50) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction:
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are palmitoyl-CoA and L-serine, whereas its 3 products are CoA, 3-dehydro-D-sphinganine, and CO2. This reaction is a key step in the biosynthesis of sphingosine which is a precursor of many other sphingolipids.
