gene: hyl-2 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable sphingosine N-acyltransferase activity. Predicted to be involved in ceramide biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in membrane. Expressed in head; hypodermis; intestine; tail; and terminal bulb. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis 9. Is an ortholog of human CERS6 (ceramide synthase 6).
