Gene: CERT1
Alternate names for this Gene: CERT|CERTL|COL4A3BP|GPBP|MRD34|STARD11
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a kinase that specifically phosphorylates the N-terminal region of the non-collagenous domain of the alpha 3 chain of type IV collagen, known as the Goodpasture antigen. Goodpasture disease is the result of an autoimmune response directed at this antigen. One isoform of this protein is also involved in ceramide intracellular transport. Three transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 5
Location in Chromosome : 5q13.3
Description of this Gene: ceramide transporter 1
Type of Gene: protein-coding
