Activation of the unfolded protein response pathway causes ceramide accumulation in yeast and INS-1E insulinoma cells

Sphingolipids are not only important components of membranes but also have functions in protein trafficking and intracellular signaling. The LCB1 gene encodes a subunit of the serine palmitoyltransferase, which is responsible for the first step of sphingolipid synthesis. Here, we show that activatio...
