Abstract
This entry represents a group of plant alkaline ceramidases, including AtACER from Arabidopsis. AtACER is an alkaline ceramidase that hydrolyses ceramide to long-chain base (LCB). It is involved in sphingolipid metabolism, disease resistance, nutrient limitation, and response to salt stress [ 1 , 2 ].
