Sgms2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable ceramide cholinephosphotransferase activity; ceramide phosphoethanolamine synthase activity; and sphingomyelin synthase activity. Predicted to be involved in ceramide biosynthetic process; regulation of bone mineralization; and sphingomyelin biosynthetic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within ceramide phosphoethanolamine biosynthetic process. Located in plasma membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in calvarial doughnut lesions with bone fragility. Orthologous to human SGMS2 (sphingomyelin synthase 2).

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 rat Sgms2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
