On the presence of C2-ceramide in mammalian tissues: possible relationship to etherphospholipids and phosphorylation by ceramide kinase
{{output}}
C(2)-ceramide (N-acetyl-sphingenine) is often used as an analog to study ceramide-mediated cellular processes. According to Lee et al. [J. Biol. Chem. 271 (1996), 209-217], C(2)-ceramide is formed by an acetyl transfer from platelet-activating factor (PAF, 1-O... ...
