Tissue Specificity | Ubiquitous. |
Post Translational Modifications | Myristoylation can target the enzyme to the mitochondria leading to an increase in ceramide levels. |
Function | Has sphingolipid-delta-4-desaturase activity. Converts D-erythro-sphinganine to D-erythro-sphingosine (E-sphing-4-enine). Catalyzes the equilibrium isomerization of retinols. |
