General description

C14 dihydroceramide is a synthetic dihydroceramide. Acylation of sphinganine with myristoyl (FA-CoA with C14 acyl chain) by dihydro ceramide synthase 1, yields C14-dihydroceramide.

Application

C14 dihydroceramide has been used as a standard for measuring the concentration of sphingolipid metabolites in adipose tissues by quadrupole time-of-flight (Q-TOF) mass spectrometry.

Dihydroceramide Delta4-desaturase (DES) catalyzes the desaturation of dihydroceramide into ceramide. In mammals, two gene isoforms named DES1 and DES2 have recently been identified. The regulation of these enzymes is still poorly understood. This study was designed to examine the possible

Mammalian ceramide synthases 1 to 6 (CerS1-6) generate Cer in an acyl-CoA-dependent manner, and expression of individual CerS has been shown to enhance the synthesis of ceramides with particular acyl chain lengths. However, the contribution of each CerS to steady-state
