General description

N-acylsphingosine amidohydrolase (Acid ceramidase) 1, or ASAH1 is part of a family of hydrolyases, localized in the lysosome, that catalyze the degradation of ceramide into sphingosine (SPH) and free fatty acid. Ceraminde is a subgroup of sphingolipids and sphingolipids are important membrane lipids in all cells. Sphingolipids are being recognized today too as important second messengers in various signaling transduction pathways, principally via the release or use of free sphingosine. Because ceramide degradation is the only source of cellular SPH, these enzymes are not only important for limiting ceramide-mediated signaling but also for controlling the cellular functions of SPH and SPH-1 phosphate enzymes. Build up excess ceramides can have damaging effects on cells and indeed, ceramide addition is a potent inducer of apoptosis is most cell types. Defects in ASAH1 gene cause a condition called Farber lipogranulomatosis, also known as Farber disease (FD). This sphingolipid disease is characterized by subcutaneous lipid-loaded nodules, excruciating pain in the joints and extremities, marked accumulation of ceramide in lysosomes, and death by three years of age. Additionally, spinal muscular atrophy is also associated with defects in the ASAH1 protein which eventually results in death at an early age from respiratory failure. EMD-Millipore’s anti-ASAH1 rabbit polyclonal antibody has been tested in western blot on mouse heart tissue lysates, and by immunohistochemistry on human heart tissue, and by fluorescent immunocytochemistry on human heart cells in culture.
