Inositol phosphorylceramide synthase complex Overview

GO Annotations consist of four mandatory components: a gene product, a term from one of the three Gene Ontology (GO) controlled vocabularies (Molecular Function, Biological Process, and Cellular Component), a reference, and an evidence code.


Summary
Catalyzes the addition of a phosphorylinositol group onto the 1-OH position of ceramide to form inositol phosphorylceramide, an essential step in forming the inositol-phosphate head group of sphingolipids. Sphingolipids are a structurally diverse class of membrane lipids implicated in a number of cell signaling functions.
GO Slim Terms

The yeast GO Slim terms are higher level terms that best represent the major S. cerevisiae biological processes, functions, and cellular components. The GO Slim terms listed here are the broader parent terms for the specific terms to which this gene product is annotated, and thus represent the more general processes, functions, and components in which it is involved.

glycosyltransferase activity, transferase activity, biosynthetic process, lipid metabolic process
