Activities of serine palmitoyltransferase (3-ketosphinganine synthase) in microsomes from different rat tissues.

Serine palmitoyltransferase [EC 2.3.1.50] catalyzes the first unique reaction of sphingolipid biosynthesis. To determine whether or not different rat tissues are capable of initiating this pathway, its activity was determined for microsomes from rat liver, lung, brain, kidney, intestine, spleen, mus...
