The effect of ceramide on Ca2+-dependent translocation of cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2) to membranes was studied. Pretreatment of platelets with sphingomyelinase or C6-ceramide (N-hexanoylsphingosine) led to apparent enhancement of Ca2+-ionophore A23187-stimulated arachidonic acid release but did not affect the cytosolic
