What is C16 ceramide?
Chemical properties
White Crystalline Solid
The Uses of C16 ceramide
A predominant, rather hydrophobic natural ceramide. Activates a cytosolic serine/threonine protein phosphatase in T9 cells; induces EGF receptor phosphorylation in A-431 cells; stimulates ceramide-activated protein kinase
The Uses of C16 ceramide
An endogenous ceramide that acts as a lipid second messenger to regulate apoptosis and stress signaling.
What are the applications of Application
C16 Ceramide (N-Palmitoylsphingosine, D-erythro) is an endogenous ceramide
Definition
ChEBI: N-hexadecanoylsphingosine is a N-acylsphingosine in which the ceramide N-acyl group is specified as hexadecanoyl (palmitoyl). It has a role as a Mycoplasma genitalium metabolite and a human blood serum metabolite. It is a N-acylsphingosine, a Cer(d34:1) and a N-palmitoyl-sphingoid base. It is functionally related to a hexadecanoic acid.
