Comments

Comment Type Description
Catalytic Activity ATP + ceramide = ADP + ceramide 1-phosphate.
Cofactor Name=Ca(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:29108; Evidence={ECO:0000250};
Cofactor Name=Mg(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:18420; Evidence={ECO:0000250};
Developmental Stage Highly expressed at 7 dpc and decreases rapidly thereafter.
Function Catalyzes specifically the phosphorylation of ceramide to form ceramide 1-phosphate. Acts efficiently on natural and analog ceramides (C6, C8, C16 ceramides, and C8-dihydroceramide), to a lesser extent on C2-ceramide and C6-dihydroceramide, but not on other lipids, such as various sphingosines (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
Similarity Contains 1 DAGKc domain. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE- ProRule:PRU00783}.
Subcellular Location Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250}. Membrane {ECO:0000250}; Peripheral membrane protein {ECO:0000250}.
Tissue Specificity High level expression in heart, brain and testis; low expression in spleen, liver and lung; not detected in skeletal muscle.
