Using genome-wide association analyses, we identified eight gene-containing loci, including a locus containing Acer2, which encodes a ceramidase and is specifically expressed in the collecting duct. Knockout of Acer2 led to increased susceptibility for lithium-induced diabetes insipidus development.

results suggest that ACER2 plays a key role in the maintenance of high plasma levels of sphingoid base-1-phosphates-S1P and dhS1P-by controlling the generation of sphingoid bases-SPH and dhSPH-in hematopoietic cells.
Title: Alkaline ceramidase 2 is essential for the homeostasis of plasma sphingoid bases and their phosphates.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
