SPTLC1 Polyclonal Antibody

catalytic activity:Palmitoyl-CoA + L-serine = CoA + 3-dehydro-D-sphinganine + CO(2).,cofactor:Pyridoxal phosphate.,disease:Defects in SPTLC1 are the cause of hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy type 1 (HSAN1) [MIM:162400]. The hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathies are a genetically and clinically heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by degeneration of dorsal root and autonomic ganglion cells, and by sensory and/or autonomic abnormalities. HSAN1 is an autosomal dominant axonal neuropathy with onset in the second or third decades. Initial symptoms are loss of pain, touch, heat, and cold sensation over the feet, followed by distal muscle wasting and weakness. Loss of pain sensation leads to chronic skin ulcers and distal amputations.,pathway:Lipid metabolism; sphingolipid metabolism.,similarity:Belongs to the class-II pyridoxal-phosphate-dependent aminotransferase family.,subunit:SPTLC1, SPTLC2 and SPTLC3 may encode subunits of the enzyme.,tissue specificity:Widely expressed. Not detected in small intestine.,
