Description

General description

Ceramide phosphorylethanolamine is a phosphosphingolipid. It maintains the structural framework of the plasma membrane, aids in the formation and functioning of plasma membrane lipid rafts, cell signaling and transduction events. Ceramide phosphorylethanolamine modulates various cellular processes, like growth, differentiation, apoptosis and angiogenesis.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Sphingolipid with ethanolamine base, found in insect membranes.

Ceramide phosphorylethanolamine is a sphingolipid with sphingoid base backbones. It is found in the rumen protozoan Entodinium caudatum , in the pupae of the green bottle fly, Lucilia Caesar, in adult housefly, Musca domestica and in few Mesogastropodoid snails.
