sphingosine N-acyltransferase

sphingosine N-acyltransferase
sphin·go·sine N-ac·yl·trans·fer·ase (sfingґgo-sēn a″səl-transґfər-ās) [EC 2.3.1.24] an enzyme of the transferase class that catalyzes the transfer of a fatty acyl group from an acyl (usually stearoyl) coenzyme A to sphingosine to form a ceramide. The reaction occurs in microsomes as a step in the synthesis of sphingolipids.
