General description

C18:1 Dihydroceramide (d18:0/18:1(9Z)) is a synthetic lipid. Dihydroceramide belongs to the ceramide family. It contains sphinganine, which is devoid of the 4,5-trans-double bond in the sphingoid base backbone.

Application

C18:1 Dihydroceramide (d18:0/18:1(9Z)) has been used as an internal standard to quantify the levels of serum and skeletal muscle lipids extracted from muscle tissue by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (MS) analysis. It has also been used as an standard to study its structural characterization by positive-ionization mode 193 nm ultraviolet photodissociation (UVPD)-mass spectrometry/MS.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Dihydroceramide is synthesized by the N-acylation of dihydrosphingosine. It functions as an inactive precursor for ceramide in de-novo sphingolipid synthesis. (Dihydro)-ceramide desaturase catalyzes the conversion of dihydroceramide to ceramide by the addition of C4–5 trans-double bond in the sphingoid backbone. Dihydroceramide has an ability to induce autophagy.

There are several pathways for the incorporation of sugars into glycosphingolipids (GSL). Sugars can be added to ceramide that contains sphinganine (dihydrosphingosine) synthesized de novo (pathway 1), to ceramide synthesized from sphingoid bases produced by hydrolysis of sphingolipids (pathway 2)
