General description

Ceramides containing 2-hydroxy fatty acids (hFA) are present in the surface epithelium of the skin. 24:0(2R-OH) Ceramide is a 2R hydroxylated lignoceric acid -containing sphingolipid. hFA-ceramides are synthesized by the enzyme fatty acid 2-hydroxylase (FA2H). hFA-ceramides aid in epidermal permeability barrier function.
