Summary
SPTLC2 (serine palmitoyltransferase long chain base subunit 2, HGNC:11278) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 14q24.3, encoding Serine palmitoyltransferase 2 (O15270). Component of the serine palmitoyltransferase multisubunit enzyme (SPT) that catalyzes the initial and rate-limiting step in sphingolipid biosynthesis by condensing L-serine and activated acyl-CoA (most commonly palmitoyl-CoA) to form long-chain bases.
This gene encodes a long chain base subunit of serine palmitoyltransferase. Serine palmitoyltransferase, which consists of two different subunits, is the key enzyme in sphingolipid biosynthesis. It catalyzes the pyridoxal-5-prime-phosphate-dependent condensation of L-serine and palmitoyl-CoA to 3-oxosphinganine. Mutations in this gene were identified in patients with hereditary sensory neuropathy type I.

Function. Component of the serine palmitoyltransferase multisubunit enzyme (SPT) that catalyzes the initial and rate-limiting step in sphingolipid biosynthesis by condensing L-serine and activated acyl-CoA (most commonly palmitoyl-CoA) to form long-chain bases. The SPT complex is composed of SPTLC1, SPTLC2 or SPTLC3 and SPTSSA or SPTSSB. Within this complex, the heterodimer consisting of SPTLC1 and SPTLC2/SPTLC3 forms the catalytic core. The composition of the serine palmitoyltransferase (SPT) complex determines the substrate preference. The SPTLC1-SPTLC2-SPTSSA complex shows a strong preference for C16-CoA substrate, while the SPTLC1-SPTLC3-SPTSSA isozyme uses both C14-CoA and C16-CoA as substrates, with a slight preference for C14-CoA. The SPTLC1-SPTLC2-SPTSSB complex shows a strong preference for C18-CoA substrate, while the SPTLC1-SPTLC3-SPTSSB isozyme displays an ability to use a broader range of acyl-CoAs, without apparent preference. Crucial for adipogenesis.
Subunit / interactions. Component of the serine palmitoyltransferase (SPT) complex, which is composed of SPTLC1, SPTLC2 or SPTLC3 and SPTSSA or SPTSSB. The heterodimer consisting of SPTLC1 and SPTLC2/SPTLC3 forms the catalytic core of the enzyme, while SPTSSA or SPTSSB subunits determine substrate specificity. SPT also interacts with ORMDL proteins, especially ORMDL3, which negatively regulate SPT activity in the presence of ceramides. Forms dimers of heterodimers with SPTLC1.
Subcellular location. Endoplasmic reticulum membrane.
Tissue specificity. Widely expressed.
Disease relevance. Neuropathy, hereditary sensory and autonomic, 1C (HSAN1C) [MIM:613640] A form of hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy, a genetically and clinically heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by degeneration of dorsal root and autonomic ganglion cells, and by prominent sensory abnormalities with a variable degree of motor and autonomic dysfunction. The neurological phenotype is often complicated by severe infections, osteomyelitis, and amputations. HSAN1C symptoms include loss of touch and vibration in the feet, dysesthesia and severe panmodal sensory loss in the upper and lower limbs, distal lower limb sensory loss with ulceration and osteomyelitis, and distal muscle weakness. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. SPTLC2 disease mutations cause a shift in the substrate specificity of SPT resulting in the alternative use of L-alanine and L-glycine over its canonical substrate L-serine. This leads to the production of 1-deoxysphingolipids that cannot be correctly metabolized.
Activity regulation. SPT complex catalytic activity is negatively regulated by ORMDL proteins, including ORMDL3, in the presence of ceramides. This mechanism allows to maintain ceramide levels at sufficient concentrations for the production of complex sphingolipids, but which prevents the accumulation of ceramides to levels that trigger apoptosis.
Induction. Expression at protein level is highly increased in brains of patients with Alzheimer disease. No changes are observed at mRNA level.
Pathway. Lipid metabolism; sphingolipid metabolism.
Similarity. Belongs to the class-II pyridoxal-phosphate-dependent aminotransferase family.

Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 109 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.
