3-dehydrosphinganine reductase (EC1.1.1.102) also known as 3-ketodihydrosphingosine reductase (KDSR) or follicular variant translocation protein 1 (FVT1) is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the KDSRgene.[5][6][7][8][9]
This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-OH group of donor with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor. This enzyme participates in sphingolipid metabolism.
FVT1 shows a high rate of transcription in some T cell malignancies and in phytohemagglutinin-stimulated lymphocytes. The proximity of FVT1 to BCL2 suggests that it may participate in the tumoral process.[9]
