LLM Analysis

Numerator Metabolite Explanation:

Sphingolipid metabolism.4[1], 5[2], 6[3]

Denominator Metabolite Explanation:

Sphingolipid metabolism.4[1], 5[2], 6[3]

Ratio Explanation:

This ratio likely reflects the activity of Ceramide Synthase 4 (CERS4), comparing its preferred C18-chain sphingomyelin products (numerator) with non-preferred shorter-chain sphingomyelins (denominator).2[1], 7[2]

Ratio Evidence:

reaction where the ratio is shared through a pathway

Gene Ratio Phenotype Relationship:

No associated phenotype was provided, so no causal link between CERS4, the sphingomyelin ratio, and a phenotype can be established.

Phenotype Driver:

none
