SNPs on 17q21 locus that are associated with childhood asthma also show a consistent and strong association with transcript levels of ORMDL3, indicating that genetic variants regulating ORMDL3 expression are determinants of susceptibility to childhood asthma.<ref>PMID:17611496</ref> |

- | [https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/ | + | [https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/ORML3_HUMAN ORML3_HUMAN] Plays an essential role in the homeostatic regulation of sphingolipid de novo biosynthesis by modulating the activity of the serine palmitoyltransferase (SPT) in response to ceramide levels (PubMed:20182505, PubMed:30700557, PubMed:37308477). When complexed to SPT, the binding of ceramides to its N-terminus stabilizes a conformation that block SPT substrate entry, hence preventing SPT catalytic activity. Through this mechanism, maintains ceramide levels at sufficient concentrations for the production of complex sphingolipids, but which prevents the accumulation of ceramides to levels that trigger apoptosis (PubMed:37308477).<ref>PMID:20182505</ref> <ref>PMID:30700557</ref> <ref>PMID:37308477</ref> |
