Activity |
2.3.1.50 |
Description |
Serine C-palmitoyltransferase (family b) |
Notes |
This family includes the products LCB2 genes. Proteins in this family are the water-soluble subunits of eukaryotic serine C-palmitoyl transferases and (contrary to LCB1 proteins - family 2.3.1.50_a) they bind PLP. |
