General description

Ceramide is a sphingolipid with long acyl chain attached to a fatty. It is synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum by ceramide synthase.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Ceramide functions as a secondary messenger to initiate apoptosis. It also regulates physiological processes and is accountable for the epidermal permeability barrier in eukaryotic membranes.

Cellular membranes contain many lipids, some of which, such as sphingolipids, have important structural and signaling functions. The common sphingolipid glucosylceramide (GlcCer) is present in plants, fungi, and animals. As a major plant sphingolipid, GlcCer is involved in the formation

Ataxin-2 (human gene symbol ATXN2) acts during stress responses, modulating mRNA translation and nutrient metabolism. Ataxin-2 knockout mice exhibit progressive obesity, dyslipidemia, and insulin resistance. Conversely, the progressive ATXN2 gain of function due to the fact of polyglutamine (polyQ) expansions
