General description
17:0(2R-OH) Ceramide is a 2R hydroxylated heptadecanoic acid-containing sphingolipid. It is present mainly in epidermis.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Hydroxy fatty acids (hFA)-sphingolipids play a vital role in cell signaling. They also help in cell differentiation and apoptosis. hFA-ceramides are involved in the formation of the epidermal barrier. Fatty acid 2-hydroxylases (FA2H) synthesize hFA-ceramides. Mutations of FA2H have been linked to neurological disorders like spastic paraparesis in humans and leukodystrophy. hFA-ceramides in the cell membrane play a crucial role in imparting the PM02734 drug with anti-tumor activity.

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].

2-Hydroxy fatty acids (hFA) are important components of a subset of mammalian sphingolipids. The presence of hFA in sphingolipids is best described in the nervous system, epidermis, and kidney. However, the literature also indicates that various hFA-sphingolipids are present in
