Application

C24:1 Dihydroceramide has been used as a standard in quadrupole time-of-flight (Q-TOF) mass spectrometry for the measurement of sphingolipid metabolites in adipose tissue. It has also been used a standard in diacylglycerol kinase (DGK) assay to quantify dihydroceramides in CLN9-deficient cells.

Biochem/physiol Actions

C24:1 Dihydroceramide is a synthetic dihydroceramide. Dihydroceramides are reduced to ceramides by the enzyme dihydroceramide desaturase. Elevated levels of serum 24:1 DHC has been observed in patients with history of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) pre-orthopic liver transplantation (OLT), compared to patients with no prior HCC. Therefore, 24:1 DHC can be used as a HCC biomarker in post-OLT patients.
