Protein Domain : Sphingolipid delta4-desaturase IPR011388

Type  Family
Description  This group represents sphingolipid delta-4 desaturase (DEGS), an integral membrane protein required for sphingosine biosynthesis. It converts D-erythro-sphinganine to D-erythro-sphingosine (E-sphing-4-enine) [ ]. Delta4-desaturated sphingolipids provide an early signal that triggers the entry into both meiotic and spermatid differentiation pathways during Drosophila spermatogenesis [].
