Ceramide kinase presents an attractive target for drug development because of its involvement in cell growth and inflammation.
Ceramide kinase presents an attractive target for drug development because of its involvement in cell growth and inflammation. CerK biology is still poorly understood thus discovery and availability of inhibitors will facilitate research at this area. NVP-231 is a newly discovered potent, specific and reversible CerK inhibitor that competitively inhibits binding of ceraminde to CerK.

Ceramide kinase (CerK) is a lipid kinase that converts the proapoptotic ceramide to ceramide 1-phosphate, which has been proposed to have pro-malignant properties and regulate cell responses such as proliferation, migration, and inflammation. We used the parental human breast cancer

Ceramide kinase (CerK) phosphorylates ceramide to ceramide-1-phosphate (C1P), a bioactive sphingolipid. Since the mechanisms responsible for regulating the proliferation and migration/metastasis of cancer cells by the CerK/C1P pathway remain unclear, we conducted the present study. The knockdown of CerK in
