ID   2.3.1.291
DE   sphingoid base N-palmitoyltransferase.
AN   mammalian ceramide synthase 5.
CA   a sphingoid base + hexadecanoyl-CoA = an N-hexadecanoyl-sphingoid base +
CA   CoA + H(+).
CC   -!- Mammals have six ceramide synthases that exhibit relatively strict
CC       specificity regarding the chain-length of their acyl-CoA substrates.
CC   -!- Ceramide synthase 5 (CERS5) is specific for palmitoyl-CoA as the acyl
CC       donor.
CC   -!- It can use multiple sphingoid bases including sphinganine,
CC       sphingosine, and phytosphingosine.
