What is it about?

Together, our results identify schlank as a Drosophila member of the Lass family of ceramide synthases. Furthermore, our data provide evidence that schlank acts as a regulator of the balance between lipogenesis and lipolysis during larval growth, suggesting a novel role for ceramide synthases in regulating body fat metabolism.
