Q5APD4 Sphingolipid C9-methyltransferase Catalyzes methylation of the sphingoid base component ofglucosylceramides (GluCers) at the C9-position. Sphingolipid C9-methylation requires 4,8-desaturated ceramides as substrates.Glucosylceramides play important roles in growth, differentiation andpathogenicity. The methyl group at the C9-position distinguishes fungalglucosylceramides from those of plants and animals, and may thus play arole in host-pathogen interactions enabling the host to recognize thefungal attack and initiate specific defense responses. Not necessaryfor vegetative growth at low temperatures, but plays a role in hyphalformation on solid medium. MTS1 Candida albicans YLC280 26024904
