Identification
Common NameCeramide (t18:0/16:0)
ClassSmall Molecule
DescriptionCer(t18:0/16:0)belongs to the class of phytoceramides (N-Acyl-4-hydroxysphinganine), which are involved in sphingolipid metabolism. Phytoceramides are generated from dihydroceramides via the enzyme C4-hydroxylase [EC:1.14.-.-, and are then converted to phytosphingosine via the enzyme N-acylsphingosine amidohydrolase [EC:3.5.1.23].
