Protein: Serine palmitoyltransferase 2 (EC 2.3.1.50) (Long chain base biosynthesis protein 2) (LCB 2) (Long chain base biosynthesis protein 2a) (LCB2a) (Serine-palmitoyl-CoA transferase 2) (SPT 2) (P97363)
Organism: Mus musculus (Mouse)
Function: Serine palmitoyltransferase (SPT). The heterodimer formed with LCB1/SPTLC1 constitutes the catalytic core. The composition of the serine palmitoyltransferase (SPT) complex determines the substrate preference. The SPTLC1-SPTLC2-SPTSSA complex shows a strong preference for C16-CoA substrate, while the SPTLC1-SPTLC2-SPTSSB complex displays a preference for C18-CoA substrate (By similarity). Plays an important role in de novo sphyngolipid biosynthesis which is crucial for adipogenesis.
Subcellular location: Endoplasmic reticulum membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:1317856}; Single-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:1317856}.
