General description

The sphingoid bases sphingosine is acylated with fatty acids with varying acyl-chain resulting in the synthesis of 1-deoxydihydroceramides (1-deoxyDHCers). These deoxyDHCers are further converted to 1-deoxyceramides (1-deoxysphingosine) and 1-(deoxymethyl)ceramides. They are produced by mammals.

Biochem/physiol Actions

The 1-deoxydihydroceramides are hydrophobic and interact with monolayers and giant unilamellar vesicles. They modulate cell membrane and may affect their biological functionality.

"Sphingosin" was first described by J. L. W. Thudichum in 1884 and structurally characterized as 2S,3R,4E-2-aminooctadec-4-ene-1,3-diol in 1947 by Herb Carter, who also proposed the designation of "lipides derived from sphingosine as sphingolipides." This category of amino alcohols is now
