Function Summary
- Entrez Summary: N/A
- UniProt Summary: Stimulates the activity of serine palmitoyltransferase (SPT). The composition of the serine palmitoyltransferase (SPT) complex determines the substrate preference. 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. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19416851}.
