General description

C18:1 Ceramide (d18:1/18:1(9Z)) or N-oleoyl-D-erythro-sphingosine is a synthetic ceramide containing sphingosine with oleic acid.

Application

C18:1 Ceramide (d18:1/18:1(9Z)) may be used as a standard:
  • to quantify ceramide content in muscle tissue samples using high-performance liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC/MS2)
  • for the absolute quantification of epidermal lipids using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS)
  • for the ratiometric quantification of sphingomyelin (SM)

The sphingolipid, ceramide, self-assembles in the mitochondrial outer membrane (MOM), forming large channels capable of translocating proteins. These channels are believed to be involved in protein release from mitochondria, a key decision-making step in cell death. Synthetic analogs of ceramide

Unique species of ceramide (Cer) with very-long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (VLCPUFA), mainly 28-32 carbon atoms, 4-5 double bonds, in nonhydroxy and 2-hydroxy forms (n-V Cer and h-V Cer, respectively), are generated in rat spermatozoa from the corresponding sphingomyelins during the

One of the most fundamental adaptive physiological events is the response of skeletal muscle to high-intensity resistance exercise, resulting in increased protein synthesis and ultimately larger muscle mass. However, muscle growth in response to contraction is attenuated in older humans.

The stratum corneum is composed of protein-enriched corneocytes embedded in an intercellular matrix of nonpolar lipids organized as lamellar layers and giving rise to epidermal permeability barrier (EPB). EPB defects have an important role in the pathophysiology of skin diseases

We prepared cholesteryl phosphocholine (CholPC) by chemical synthesis and studied its interactions with small (ceramide and cholesterol) and large headgroup (sphingomyelin (SM) and phosphatidylcholine) colipids in bilayer membranes. We established that CholPC could form bilayers (giant uni- and multilamellar vesicles
