CAS 54164-50-0: N-nervonoyl-D-sphingosine

Description: N-nervonoyl-D-sphingosine, also known as nervonoyl sphingosine, is a complex sphingolipid that plays a significant role in cellular structure and signaling. It is characterized by a long-chain fatty acid, nervonic acid, which is attached to a sphingosine backbone. This compound is notable for its involvement in the formation of myelin sheaths in nerve cells, contributing to the insulation and proper functioning of neurons. N-nervonoyl-D-sphingosine is typically found in various biological membranes and is implicated in several physiological processes, including cell signaling and membrane fluidity. Its structure includes a hydrophobic tail and a hydrophilic head, which allows it to integrate into lipid bilayers effectively. The presence of the nervonoyl group, a 24-carbon unsaturated fatty acid, enhances its biological activity and stability. Research into this sphingolipid continues to uncover its potential roles in neurobiology and its implications in various diseases, including neurodegenerative disorders.
