Predicted to contribute to serine C-palmitoyltransferase activity. Predicted to be involved in ceramide biosynthetic process; endoplasmic reticulum organization; and regulation of serine C-palmitoyltransferase activity. Predicted to act upstream of or within sphingolipid biosynthetic process. Predicted to be integral component of membrane. Predicted to be part of serine C-palmitoyltransferase complex. Orthologous to human SPTSSB (serine palmitoyltransferase small subunit B). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
