text Serine palmitoyltransferase (SPT; EC 2.3.1.50) catalyzes the condensation of serine with palmitoyl-CoA to form 3-ketosphinganine in the first step of de novo sphingolipid biosynthesis (Tamura et al. 2001). The enzyme has been characterized from a wide range of organisms including yeast, mammals, and plants.
