Name | ORMDL1 |
---|---|
Function | Plays an essential role in the homeostatic regulation of sphingolipid de novo biosynthesis by modulating the activity of the serine palmitoyltransferase (SPT) in response to ceramide levels (PubMed:20182505). When complexed to SPT, the binding of ceramides to its N-terminus stabilizes a conformation that block SPT substrate entry, hence preventing SPT catalytic activity. Through this mechanism, maintains ceramide levels at sufficient concentrations for the production of complex sphingolipids, but which prevents the accumulation of ceramides to levels that trigger apoptosis (By similarity). |
Cellular Location | Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein |
Tissue Location | Widely expressed. Expressed in adult and fetal heart, brain, lung, liver, skeletal muscle and kidney. Expressed in adult pancreas and placenta and in fetal spleen abd thymus. Expressed at intermediate level in pancreas, placenta and brain but low in skeletal muscle and lung. |

Background
ORMDL1 Antibody: The ORMDL (ORM1-like) family of proteins consist of ORMDL1, ORMDL2 and ORMDL3 that may play roles in gamma-secretase complex maturation. Localized to the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum, ORMDLs are widely expressed and are implicated in the expression of Presenilin (PSI) which is involved in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Expression of ORMDL1 is down-regulated in PSI mutations, suggesting a possible role as a therapeutic target for AD. ORMDLs have recently been identified as a potential risk factor for childhood asthma.
