Description

C2 dihydroceramide is a lipid that belongs to the group of sphingolipids and is involved in neuronal death. It is a precursor for ceramide, which can also induce apoptosis. C2 dihydroceramide has been shown to inhibit axonal growth by interfering with the polymerase chain reaction, as well as inducing autophagy through toll-like receptor 4 signaling. This lipid has also been shown to inhibit intracellular Ca2+ levels, mitochondrial functions, and bowel disease. C2 dihydroceramide was identified in HL-60 cells and may be used as an analytical method for detecting other sphingolipids.
