Cert1 - ceramide transporter 1

Predicted to enable several functions, including ceramide 1-phosphate transfer activity; identical protein binding activity; and phospholipid binding activity. Predicted to be involved in ER to Golgi ceramide transport and intermembrane sphingolipid transfer. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including ceramide metabolic process; lipid homeostasis; and mitochondrion morphogenesis. Predicted to be located in mitochondrion and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of collagen trimer. Predicted to be active in Golgi apparatus and cytosol. Predicted to colocalize with perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant non-syndromic intellectual disability 34. Orthologous to human CERT1 (ceramide transporter 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
