Nodes:
Network nodes represent proteins
splice isoforms or post-translational modifications are collapsed, i.e. each node represents all the proteins produced by a single, protein-coding gene locus.
Node Color
colored nodes:
query proteins and first shell of interactors
white nodes:
second shell of interactors
Node Content
empty nodes:
proteins of unknown 3D structure
filled nodes:
a 3D structure is known or predicted
Edges:
Edges represent protein-protein associations
associations are meant to be specific and meaningful, i.e. proteins jointly contribute to a shared function; this does not necessarily mean they are physically binding to each other.

CpesCeramide phosphoethanolamine synthase; Catalyzes the biosynthesis of ceramide phosphoethanolamine (CPE) through the transfer of a phosphatidyl head group from cytidine 5'-diphosphate (CDP)-ethanolamine on to the primary hydroxyl of ceramide; Belongs to the CDP-alcohol phosphatidyltransferase class-I family. (392 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
SMSr
Sphingomyelin synthase-related 1; Sphingomyelin synthases synthesize sphingolipids through transfer of a phosphatidyl head group on to the primary hydroxyl of ceramide. SAMD8 is an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) transferase that has no sphingomyelin synthase activity but can convert phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) and ceramide to ceramide phosphoethanolamine (CPE) albeit with low product yield. Appears to operate as a ceramide sensor to control ceramide homeostasis in the endoplasmic reticulum rather than a converter of ceramides. Seems to be critical for the integrity of the early secretory [...]

ifc
Sphingolipid delta-4 desaturase activity. It is involved in the biological process described with: spermatogenesis; spindle assembly involved in male meiosis; ceramide biosynthetic process; Belongs to the fatty acid desaturase type 1 family. DEGS subfamily.
   
 
 0.954
CG3376
Sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase; Converts sphingomyelin to ceramide.
     
 0.944
schlank
Schlank, isoform A; Schlank (schlank) encodes a member of the Ceramide Synthases family involved in sphingolipid metabolism. It is essential for ceramide synthesis and modulates triacylglycerol levels and transcriptional expression of body fat metabolism regulators.
   
 
 0.936
nSMase
Putative neutral sphingomyelinase; Sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase activity. It is involved in the biological process described with: sphingomyelin metabolic process.
     
 0.925
CDase
Neutral ceramidase; Hydrolyzes the sphingolipid ceramide into sphingosine and free fatty acid at an optimal pH of 6.5-7.5. Acts as a key regulator of sphingolipid signaling metabolites by generating sphingosine at the cell surface. Regulates synaptic vesicle exocytosis and trafficking by controlling presynaptic terminal sphingolipid composition. Belongs to the neutral ceramidase family.
     
 0.925
Cerk
Ceramide kinase (Cerk) encodes a protein that catalyzes phosphorylation of ceramide, helping to maintain ceramide levels, which in turn regulates photoreceptor structure and function. It is also a component of WntD signaling and mediates primordial germ cell migration.
   
 
  0.916
wun
Putative phosphatidate phosphatase; Wunen (wun) encodes a lipid phosphate phosphatase with 6 transmembrane domains and an active site that is predicted to face extracellularly. It is required for germ cell migration and survival, septate junction function in the tracheal system and for heart formation; Belongs to the PA-phosphatase related phosphoesterase family.
   
 
 0.912
wun2
Wunen-2, isoform A; Wunen-2 (wun2) encodes a lipid phosphate phosphatase, an enzyme with an active site predicted to face extracellularly. It is required for germ cell migration and survival, acting partially redundantly with its paralog wun.
   
 
 0.910
CG33090
Non-lysosomal glucosylceramidase; Non-lysosomal glucosylceramidase that catalyzes the conversion of glucosylceramide to free glucose and ceramide.
