Description

Ceramide is an endogenous sphingosine and fatty acid-based waxy lipid; it is a component of sphingomyelin in the lipid bilayer of cells membranes. Ceramide is involved in signaling pathways for many cellular processes such as differentiation, proliferation, programmed cell death, and apoptosis. Ceramide levels may be used as a biomarker for inflammation or particular diseases.
