Application
C16 Ceramide-d7 (d18:1-d7/16:0), has been used as a standard to measure the amount of C16 ceramide in skeletal muscle by liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC-MS).
Biochem/physiol Actions
C16 Ceramide plays a vital role in apoptotic signaling. Examining the levels of the ceramides (Cer) d18:1/16:0, Cer d18:1/18:0, Cer d18:1/24:0, and Cer d18:1/24:1 and ratios in human plasma facilitates the prognosis of fatal outcome of coronary artery disease. A newly described and validated liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry methodology uses C16 Ceramide (d18:1/16:0) in a stable isotope form for their clinical-scaled measurement.
General description
C16 Ceramide (d18:1/16:0) is a synthetic ceramide containing sphingosine with palmitic acid. It is synthesized from ceramide synthase 6 (CerS6). C16 Ceramide-d7 (d18:1-d7/16:0) is a deuterated derivative of ceramide d18:1/16:0.
