Denny, P., Shams-Eldin, H., Price, H., Smith, D., & Schwarz, R. (2006). The protozoan inositol phosphorylceramide synthase: A novel drug target that defines a new class of sphingolipid synthase. Journal of Biological Chemistry, 281(38), 28200-28209. https://doi.org/10.1074/jbc.m600796200

Sphingolipids are ubiquitous and essential components of eukaryotic membranes, particularly the plasma membrane. The biosynthetic pathway for the formation of these lipid species is conserved up to the formation of sphinganine. However, a divergence...
