General description

C22 Ceramide (d18:1/22:0) or N-behenoyl-D-erythro-sphingosine is a synthetic ceramide containing sphingosine with behenic acid.

Application

C22 Ceramide (d18:1/22:0) has been used:
  • as a standard to measure ceramide concentrations in muscle tissue samples using high-performance liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS2)
  • as a standard for the quantitation of sphingolipid metabolites
  • to study its effects on mitochondrial-to-cytosolic stress response (MCSR) induction

Biochem/physiol Actions

Ceramides plays an important role in regulating cell differentiation, proliferation and apoptosis. It also regulates stress responses and inflammation.

Defects in mitochondrial metabolism have been increasingly linked with age-onset protein-misfolding diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and Huntington's. In response to protein-folding stress, compartment-specific unfolded protein responses (UPRs) within the ER, mitochondria, and cytosol work in parallel to ensure cellular

We aimed to investigate the impact of thymoquinone (TQ), on sphingolipid metabolites, ER stress and apoptotic pathways in MCF-7 and HepG2 cancer cells. Antiproliferative effect was exerted in cancer cells via TQ incubation at different doses and durations. Cell viability

We aimed to determine sphingolipid levels and examine apoptotic pathways in human retinal pigment epithelial cells (ARPE-19) undergoing endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. Cells were treated with tunicamycin (TM) to induce ER stress and tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA), an ER stress inhibitor

Obesity-induced adipose dysfunction is a major contributor to atherosclerosis. Cold exposure has been reported to affect atherosclerosis through regulation of adipose function, but the mechanism has not been well clarified. Here, adipocyte hypoxia-inducible factor 2α (HIF-2α) was upregulated after mild cold

Monitoring the levels of the ceramides (Cer) d18:1/16:0, Cer d18:1/18:0, Cer d18:1/24:0, and Cer d18:1/24:1 and ratios thereof in human plasma empowers the prediction of fatal outcome of coronary artery disease (CAD). We describe a validated liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry
