Has a highly restricted substrate specificity for the natural stereoisomer of ceramide with D-erythro-sphingosine but not D-ribo- phytosphingosine or D-erythro-dihydrosphingosine as a backbone. May have a role in regulating the levels of bioactive lipids ceramide and sphingosine 1-phosphate, as well as complex sphingolipids (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}. |Ceramidase| |response to alkaline pH| |dihydroceramidase activity| |ceramidase activity| |N-acylsphingosine amidohydrolase activity| |sebaceous gland development| |sphingosine biosynthetic process| |sphingoid biosynthetic process| |sphingosine metabolic process| |sphingoid metabolic process| |diol biosynthetic process| |ceramide catabolic process| |diol metabolic process| |regulation of water loss via skin| |sphingolipid catabolic process| |membrane lipid catabolic process| |response to pH| |polyol biosynthetic process| |multicellular organismal water homeostasis| |water homeostasis| |ceramide metabolic process| |cellular response to calcium ion| |sphingolipid biosynthetic process| |polyol metabolic process| |alcohol biosynthetic process| |membrane lipid biosynthetic process| |response to calcium ion| |sphingolipid metabolic process| |organic hydroxy compound biosynthetic process| |cellular response to metal ion| |ammonium ion metabolic process| |cellular lipid catabolic process| |membrane lipid metabolic process| |cellular response to inorganic substance| |keratinocyte differentiation| |lipid catabolic process| |epidermal cell differentiation| |alcohol metabolic process| |multicellular organismal homeostasis| |response to metal ion| |skin development| |regulation of lipid metabolic process| |gland development| |epidermis development| |organic hydroxy compound metabolic process| |regulation of body fluid levels| |response to inorganic substance| |lipid biosynthetic process| |small molecule biosynthetic process| |epithelial cell differentiation| |cellular amide metabolic process| |endoplasmic reticulum membrane| |cellular lipid metabolic process| |endoplasmic reticulum| |organonitrogen compound catabolic process| |chemical homeostasis| |epithelium development| |response to abiotic stimulus| |lipid metabolic process| |organonitrogen compound biosynthetic process| |cellular nitrogen compound biosynthetic process| |homeostatic process| |small molecule metabolic process| |tissue development| |organic substance catabolic process| |cellular catabolic process| \\ === CRISPR Data === ^Screen^Score^ |[[:results:exp48|Mubritinib 0.2μM R01 exp48]]|-1.81| |[[:results:exp49|NFN1 0.1μM R01 exp49]]|-1.71| |[[:results:exp514|Phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate 0.57μM R08 exp514]]|2.24| No correlation found to any other genes in chemogenomics.
