Enzyme Function FUNCTION: Regulatory component of the inositol phosphorylceramide (ICP) synthase which catalyzes the addition of a phosphorylinositol group onto ceramide to form inositol phosphorylceramide, an essential step in sphingolipid biosynthesis. Helps the medial Golgi localization of IPC synthase in a COPI vesicle-dependent manner. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19726565}.

Subcellular Location SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Golgi apparatus membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14562095, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19726565}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14562095, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19726565}.
Modified Residue
Post Translational Modification PTM: The precursor protein is cleaved into two polypeptide chains, KEI1N and KEI1C. The cleavage is performed in the Golgi apparatus by the KEX2 protease which recognizes residue Arg-135. Generation of KEX2 cleavage site may have been an accidental event in evolution without specific advantages or disadvantages in IPC synthesis.
