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