Function
Serine palmitoyltransferase (SPT) (PubMed:19416851). The heterodimer formed with SPTLC2 or SPTLC3 constitutes the catalytic core (PubMed:19416851). The composition of the serine palmitoyltransferase (SPT) complex determines the substrate preference (PubMed:19416851). The SPTLC1-SPTLC2-SPTSSA complex shows a strong preference for C16-CoA substrate, while the SPTLC1-SPTLC3-SPTSSA isozyme uses both C14-CoA and C16-CoA as substrates, with a slight preference for C14-CoA (PubMed:19416851). The SPTLC1-SPTLC2-SPTSSB complex shows a strong preference for C18-CoA substrate, while the SPTLC1-SPTLC3-SPTSSB isozyme displays an ability to use a broader range of acyl-CoAs, without apparent preference (PubMed:19416851). Required for adipocyte cell viability and metabolic homeostasis (By similarity).
We demonstrated that the er-resident human protein serine palmitoyltransferase long chain-1 (sptlc1), which is the first enzyme of sphingolipid biosynthesis, is phosphorylated at tyr(164) by the tyrosine kinase abl. this occurred through the specific abl-mediated phosphorylation of sptlc1 on tyr164, leading to the attenuation of its activity.
