Summary: Enables sphingolipid binding activity. Acts upstream of or within sphingolipid biosynthetic process. Located in several cellular components, including perinuclear region of cytoplasm; photoreceptor inner segment; and photoreceptor outer segment. Is expressed in eye and optic nerve. Used to study retinitis pigmentosa 26. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in retinitis pigmentosa and retinitis pigmentosa 26. Orthologous to human CERKL (ceramide kinase like).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
