General Information

General Information Comment Organism
additional information in cells, ACER3 overexpression decreases C18:1- and C20:1-ceramides and dihydroceramides, whereas ACER3 knockdown by RNA interference in HeLa cells has the opposite effect. ACER3 knockdown inhibits cell proliferation and up-regulates the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p21CIP1/WAF1. Blocking p21CIP1/WAF1 up-regulation attenuates the inhibitory effect of ACER3 knockdown on cell proliferation, suggesting that ACER3 knockdown inhibits cell proliferation because of p21CIP1/WAF1 up-regulation. ACER3 knockdown inhibits cell apoptosis in response to serum deprivation. ACER3 knockdown up-regulates the expression of ACER2, and the ACER2 up-regulation decreases non-ULC ceramide species while increasing both sphingosine and its phosphate Homo sapiens
physiological function ACER3 specifically controls the hydrolysis of ceramides carrying unsaturated long acyl chains, unsaturated long-chain ceramides Homo sapiens
