General description

N-24:0(2R-OH) Phytosphingosine, also called as N-(2′-(R)-hydroxylignoceroyl)-phytosphingosine, is a sphingolipid that belongs to the group of phytoceramides. Phytosphingosine is a sphingoid base with hydroxyl group at the C4 position. It is highly found in plants and fungi. In addition, phytosphingosine is also present in mammalian epidermis, including the stratum corneum.

Application

N-24:0(2R-OH) Phytosphingosine, also called as N-(2′-(R)-hydroxylignoceroyl)-phytosphingosine may be used to study its effects in different hybrids of Zea mays.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Phytosphingosine and its derivatives play a vital role in the body′s natural defense system. These lipids prevent dehydration of skin, control epidermal cell growth, differentiation and apoptosis. Phytosphingosine also exhibits anti-bactericidal and anti-inflammatory properties.

Lipid molecules are increasingly recognized as signals exchanged by organisms interacting in pathogenic and/or symbiotic ways. Some classes of lipids actively determine the fate of the interactions. Host cuticle/cell wall/membrane components such as sphingolipids and oxylipins may contribute to determining
