  1. CS can utilize a range of FA-CoAs (C16-24) but not hydroxy-FA-CoAs. See Sperling P, Heinz E. “Plant sphingolipids: structural diversity, biosynthesis, first genes and functions” Biochim Biophys Acta. 2003 10;1632:1-15. PMID 12782146
  2. Activity of IPCS is high in Fabaceae. See Bromley PE, Li YO, Murphy SM, Sumner CM, Lynch DV. “Complex sphingolipid synthesis in plants: characterization of inositolphosphorylceramide synthase activity in bean microsomes” Arch Biochem Biophys. 2003 15;417:219-26. PMID 12941304
