ACER1 (alkaline ceramidase 1), associated with the endoplasmic reticulum membrane, catalyzes the hydrolysis of ceramide to yield a free fatty acid (annotated here as stearate) and sphingosine. Chicken ACER1 is known only as the inferred protein product of an open reading frame found through ananlysis of the chicken genome. This reaction is inferred from its well-studied mammalian counterpart.
