CAS 24696-26-2: C16-Ceramide
Description:C16-Ceramide, also known as N-hexadecanoyl sphingosine, is a type of sphingolipid that plays a crucial role in cellular structure and signaling. It is characterized by a long-chain fatty acid (hexadecanoic acid) linked to a sphingosine backbone, which contributes to its amphiphilic nature, allowing it to interact with both hydrophilic and hydrophobic environments. This ceramide is primarily found in the lipid bilayers of cell membranes, where it contributes to membrane stability and fluidity. C16-Ceramide is also involved in various biological processes, including cell signaling, apoptosis, and the regulation of cell growth and differentiation. Its presence in the skin is significant for maintaining barrier function and hydration. Additionally, ceramides are studied for their potential therapeutic applications in skin disorders and other health conditions. Due to its structural properties, C16-Ceramide can also influence the formation of lipid rafts and play a role in the pathophysiology of certain diseases, making it a subject of interest in both biochemistry and pharmacology.
