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.
