Lcb4 [SPAC4A8.07c.1]
Sphingoid long chain base kinase (predicted); Catalyzes the phosphorylation of the sphingoid long chain bases dihydrosphingosine (DHS) and phytosphingosine (PHS) to form dihydrosphingosine 1-phosphate (DHS-1P) and phytosphingosine 1-phosphate (PHS-1P) respectively (By similarity). Involved in the biosynthesis of sphingolipids and ceramides (By similarity). Involved in heat-induced transient cell cycle arrest (By similarity). Accumulation of phosphorylated sphingoid long chain bases (LCBPs) stimulates calcium influx and activates calcineurin signaling. Involved in heat-stress resistance (By similarity).
