General description
Ceramides containing 2-hydroxy fatty acid (hFA) are found primarily in the epidermis. 12:0(2R-OH) Ceramide is a 2R hydroxylated lauric acid-containing ceramide.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Hydroxy fatty acid (hFA)-sphingolipids play a specific role in cell signaling. Synthesis of hFA-ceramides requires fatty acid 2-hydroxylase (FA2H). Mutations of this key enzyme are associated with the development of nervous system disorders such as leukodystrophy and spastic paraparesis in humans. hFA-ceramides are essential for the epidermal permeability barrier function. The mechanism of action for an antitumor drug, PM02734 involves hFA-ceramides in the cell membrane.

PM02734 is a novel synthetic antitumor drug that is currently in phase I clinical trials. To gain some insight into its mode of action, we used the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a model system. Treatment of S. cerevisiae with PM02734

Sphingolipids are ubiquitous components of eukaryotic cells that regulate various cellular functions. In many cell types, a fraction of sphingolipids contain 2-hydroxy fatty acids, produced by fatty acid 2-hydroxylase (FA2H), as the N-acyl chain of ceramide [hydroxyl fatty acid (hFA)-sphingolipids].
