CC   -!- FUNCTION: Plays an essential role in the homeostatic regulation of
CC       sphingolipid de novo biosynthesis by modulating the activity of the
CC       serine palmitoyltransferase (SPT) in response to ceramide levels. When
CC       complexed to SPT, the binding of ceramides to its N-terminus stabilizes
CC       a conformation that block SPT substrate entry, hence preventing SPT
CC       catalytic activity. Through this mechanism, maintains ceramide levels
CC       at sufficient concentrations for the production of complex
CC       sphingolipids, but which prevents the accumulation of ceramides to
CC       levels that trigger apoptosis. {ECO:0000256|ARBA:ARBA00045896}.
CC   -!- SUBUNIT: Ceramide-sensitive subunit of the serine palmitoyltransferase
CC       (SPT) complex, which is also composed of SPTLC1, SPTLC2/3 and SPTSSA/B.
CC       {ECO:0000256|ARBA:ARBA00038646}.
CC   -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Membrane {ECO:0000256|ARBA:ARBA00004141}; Multi-
CC       pass membrane protein {ECO:0000256|ARBA:ARBA00004141}.
CC   -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the ORM family. {ECO:0000256|ARBA:ARBA00007649,
CC       ECO:0000256|PIRNR:PIRNR018147}.
