Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionsphk-1 encodes a sphingosine kinase orhtologous to the mammalian sphingosine kinases (SphK1 and SphK2); SPHK-1 activity is required, primarily in neurons, for promoting neurotransmitter release from synaptic vesicles at neuromuscular junctions; sphk-1 is expressedin the majority of cholinergic and GABAergic neurons, as well as in body wall muscle, intestine, and hypodermis; SPHK-1 localizes to discrete subsynaptic regions at presynaptic terminals; SPHK-1 abundance at presynaptic regions is regulated by a muscarinic signaling pathway that includes the muscarinc acetylcholine receptor GAR-3, the G protein subunit EGL-30, and the Trio Rho/GEF UNC-73.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00041106

Automated_descriptionPredicted to enable D-erythro-sphingosine kinase activity and acetyltransferase activity. Involved in mitochondrial unfolded protein response; positive regulation of acetylcholine secretion, neurotransmission; and regulation of locomotion. Located in several cellular components, including mitochondrion; neuronal cell body; and presynaptic periactive zone. Expressed in several structures, including body wall musculature; excretory canal; intestine; linker cell; and neurons. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in type 2 diabetes mellitus. Is an ortholog of human SPHK1 (sphingosine kinase 1) and SPHK2 (sphingosine kinase 2).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

Reference (23)
RemarkMap position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.CGC_data_submission
