16:0-D31 Ceramide, also known as D31-ceramide or D31-ceramide 16:0, is a synthetic ceramide that is characterized by its long-chain fatty acid structure, specifically a saturated fatty acid with 16 carbon atoms (palmitic acid) and deuterium-labeled hydrogen atoms. This compound is part of the sphingolipid family, which plays a crucial role in cellular signaling, membrane structure, and skin barrier function. The deuterium labeling (D31) allows for enhanced tracking and analysis in various biochemical studies, particularly in mass spectrometry. Ceramides, including 16:0-D31, are vital components of the stratum corneum in the skin, contributing to moisture retention and protection against environmental stressors. They are also involved in cell signaling pathways that regulate apoptosis and inflammation. Due to its unique properties, 16:0-D31 Ceramide is often utilized in research and cosmetic formulations aimed at improving skin health and understanding lipid metabolism.
