gene: sptl-1 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable serine C-palmitoyltransferase activity. Involved in establishment or maintenance of epithelial cell apical/basal polarity. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum. Expressed in head. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy type 1A. Is an ortholog of human SPTLC1 (serine palmitoyltransferase long chain base subunit 1).
