EXPRESSION
ORGANISM
UNIPROT
LITERATURE
ionizing radiation induces de novo synthesis of ceramide by specifically activating CerS isoforms 2, 5, and 6
presence of fenritinide leads to transcriptional downregulation of Cers5
pulmonary LASS5 is developmentally regulated, but its expression is spatially and gender nonspecific
the expression of CerS1 and CerS5 mRNA, encoding the ceramide synthases with substrate preference for C16:0 and C18:0 acyl chains, respectively, is downregulated in skeletal muscle of aged mice
