Also known as DHSRSDR35C1
Summary
KDSR (3-ketodihydrosphingosine reductase, HGNC:4021) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 18q21.33, encoding 3-ketodihydrosphingosine reductase (Q06136). Catalyzes the reduction of 3’-oxosphinganine (3-ketodihydrosphingosine/KDS) to sphinganine (dihydrosphingosine/DHS), the second step of de novo sphingolipid biosynthesis. It is a selective cancer dependency (DepMap: 21.6% of cell lines).
The protein encoded by this gene catalyzes the reduction of 3-ketodihydrosphingosine to dihydrosphingosine. The putative active site residues of the encoded protein are found on the cytosolic side of the endoplasmic reticulum membrane. A chromosomal rearrangement involving this gene is a cause of follicular lymphoma, also known as type II chronic lymphatic leukemia. The mutation of a conserved residue in the bovine ortholog causes spinal muscular atrophy.

- Describes an Ala-175 to Thr mutation in the bovine ortholog that causes spinal muscular atrophy. This residue is conserved in several species, including human. (PMID:17420465)
- Data show that mutations in FVT1 do not contribute significantly to the cause of motor neuron diseases in the human population. (PMID:18395445)
- FVT1 is significantly underexpressed by germinal center-type diffuse large B-cell lymphoma compared with non-germinal center-type DLBCL, follicular lymphoma, & normal tonsil control samples. Increased expression of FVT1 correlated with decreased survival. (PMID:19019774)

UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →
Function. Catalyzes the reduction of 3’-oxosphinganine (3-ketodihydrosphingosine/KDS) to sphinganine (dihydrosphingosine/DHS), the second step of de novo sphingolipid biosynthesis.
Subunit / interactions. Dimer or tetramer.
Subcellular location. Endoplasmic reticulum membrane.
Tissue specificity. Expressed in all tissues examined. Highest expression in placenta. High expression in lung, kidney, stomach and small intestine, low expression in heart, spleen and skeletal muscle. Weakly expressed in normal hematopoietic tissues. Higher expression in some T-cell malignancies and PHA-stimulated lymphocytes.
Disease relevance. A chromosomal aberration involving KDSR is a cause of follicular lymphoma; also known as type II chronic lymphatic leukemia. Translocation t(2;18)(p11;q21) with a Ig J kappa chain region. Erythrokeratodermia variabilis et progressiva 4 (EKVP4) [MIM:617526] A form of erythrokeratodermia variabilis et progressiva, a genodermatosis characterized by the coexistence of two independent skin lesions: transient erythema and hyperkeratosis that is usually localized but occasionally occurs in its generalized form. Clinical presentation varies significantly within a family and from one family to another. Palmoplantar keratoderma is present in around 50% of cases. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Defects in KDSR may be the cause of a spectrum of keratinization disorders with or without associated thrombocytopenia characterized by palmoplantar and anogenital hyperkeratosis or a more generalized phenotype resembling harlequin ichthyosis.
Pathway. Lipid metabolism; sphingolipid metabolism.
Miscellaneous. Was identified as a potential cancer therapy target as its inhibition leads to proteotoxic stress in those cancer cells that overproduce its substrate 3-oxosphinganine.
Similarity. Belongs to the short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDR) family.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 116 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
