Reaction:		a sphingoid base + octadecanoyl-CoA = an N-octadecanoyl-sphingoid base + CoA + H(+).
		sphingoid base + octadecanoyl-CoA = N-octadecanoyl-sphingoid base + CoA + H(+) Molecule diagrams generated from .mol files obtained from the KEGG ftp site.
Other name(s):		mammalian ceramide synthase 1.
Comments:		Mammals have six ceramide synthases that exhibit relatively strict specificity regarding the chain-length of their acyl-CoA substrates. Ceramide synthase 1 (CERS1) is structurally and functionally distinctive from all other Cers enzymes, and is specific for stearoyl-CoA as the acyl donor. It can use multiple sphingoid bases including sphinganine, sphingosine, and phytosphingosine.
