Ormdl1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to be involved in ceramide metabolic process; intracellular sphingolipid homeostasis; and sphingolipid biosynthetic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within negative regulation of ceramide biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Predicted to be part of serine palmitoyltransferase complex. Orthologous to human ORMDL1 (ORMDL sphingolipid biosynthesis regulator 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Ormdl1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
