LITERATURE
dimer
CerS activity can be modulated by dimer formation. CerS5 activity is inhibited in a dominant-negative fashion by co-expression with catalytically inactive CerS5. CerS dimers are formed rapidly upon stimulation of ceramide synthesis
tetramer

additional information
-
Lass family members contain four to seven predicted transmembrane domains, a catalytic Lag1 motif and most an N-terminal domain showing sequence homology to DNA-binding homeodomains (Hox domain)
