Sphingoid long-chain base kinase; responsible for synthesis of long-chain base phosphates, which function as signaling molecules, regulates synthesis of ceramide from exogenous long-chain bases, localizes to the Golgi and late endosomes; LCB4 has a paralog, LCB5, that arose from the whole genome duplication [Source:SGD;Acc:S000005697]
Chromosome XV: 652,010-653,884 reverse strand.
R64-1-1:BK006948.2
This gene has 1 transcript (splice variant), 348 orthologues, 1 paralogue and is a member of 1 Ensembl protein family.
