General description
Ceramides with 2-hydroxy fatty acids (hFA) group are present in the epidermis. 16:0(2S-OH) Ceramide is a unique ceramide containing 16C long chain base fatty acid (palmitic acid)-with 2′-hydroxyl group in S configuration.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Hydroxy fatty acid (hFA)-sphingolipids are implicated in cell signaling. They also facilitate cell differentiation and apoptosis. hFA-ceramides in epidermis help in permeability barrier function. hFA-ceramides are synthesized by fatty acid 2-hydroxylase (FA2H). Mutations of FA2H leads to the development of neurological disorders including leukodystrophy and spastic paraparesis in humans. hFA-ceramides in the cell membrane are essential for PM02734 drug to exhibit its anti-tumor activity.
