背景信息：
GCS (glucosylceramide synthase ) may serve as a 'flippase' as well as a glucosyltransferase that transfers glucose to ceramide. Able to use UDP-galactose to synthesize galactosylceramide with 10% of efficiency with which it utilizes UDP-glucose. [Catalytic activity] UDP-glucose + N-acylsphingosine = UDP + D-glucosyl-N-acylsphingosine. Lipid metabolism; sphingolipid metabolism. [Subcellular location] Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Belongs to the glycosyltransferase 2 family.
