General description

C4 Ceramide (d18:1/4:0) or N-butyroyl-D-erythro-sphingosine is a synthetic ceramide containing sphingosine with butyric acid. It is a non-toxic, short-chain sphingolipid.

Application

C4 Ceramide (d18:1/4:0) has been used to study its role in rescuing and stabilizing ΔF508-cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (ΔF508-CFTR).

Biochem/physiol Actions

C4 Ceramide (d18:1/4:0) is implicated in a series of mutual autophosphorylation and phosphorylation actions between 3-phosphoinositide-dependent kinase 1 (PDK1) and serum/glucocorticoid-induced protein kinase 1 (SGK1). It stimulates cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)-activated chloride secretion and represses hypersecretion of interleukin-8 (IL-8). C4 Ceramide might be a potential therapeutic for cystic fibrosis (CF).

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is due to a folding defect in the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein. The most common mutation, ΔF508, prevents CFTR from trafficking to the apical plasma membrane. Here we show that activation of the PDK1/SGK1 signaling
