General description

Ceramides are generated by the acylation of the sphingoid bases, sphingosine.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Deoxydihydro ceramide (deoxyDHCer), nervonoyl (C24:1) is present in the mammals along with palmitoyl (C16) dihydroceramide. In general, deoxyDHCer modulates the cellular membrane properties and may contribute to its biological functionality.

Most common sphingolipids are comprised of "typical" sphingoid bases (sphinganine, sphingosine, and structurally related compounds) and are produced via the condensation of l-serine with a fatty acyl-CoA by serine palmitoyltransferase. Some organisms, including mammals, also produce "atypical" sphingoid bases that

"Sphingosin" was first described by J. L. W. Thudichum in 1884 and structurally characterized as 2S,3R,4E-2-aminooctadec-4-ene-1,3-diol in 1947 by Herb Carter, who also proposed the designation of "lipides derived from sphingosine as sphingolipides." This category of amino alcohols is now
