General description

Ceramides containing 2-hydroxy fatty acids (hFA) are primarily found in the epidermis. 22:0(2S-OH) Ceramide is a 2S hydroxylated behenic acid-containing sphingolipid.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Sphingolipids containing hydroxy fatty acid (hFA) are implicated in cell signaling, cell differentiation and apoptosis. These lipids, which are found majorly in myelin sheath helps in formation and function of myelin. NAD(P)H-dependent enzyme, fatty acid 2-hydroxylase (FA2H) catalyzes the synthesis of hFA-ceramide. hFA-ceramides aid in epidermal permeability barrier function.

Sphingolipids containing 2-hydroxylated fatty acids are among the most abundant lipid components of the myelin sheath and therefore are thought to play an important role in formation and function of myelin. To prove this hypothesis, we generated mice lacking a
