Figure 1. Role of IPCS in the sphingolipid metabolism of Leishmania.

Figure 1.

IPCS catalyzes the reaction involving the conversion of ceramide to IPC (Inositolphosphorylceramide). IPC forms the most predominant sphingolipid in Leishmania. IPCS plays an important role in maintaining the viability of the parasite.
