Notes: Ceramides are generated from sphingomyelin through activation of sphingomyelinases or through the de novo synthesis pathway, which requires the coordinated action of serine palmitoyl transferase and ceramide synthase.{19146} They have been shown to mediate antiproliferative responses such as apoptosis, growth arrest, differentiation, and senescence. This product contains ceramide molecular species with primarily 2-hydroxy C24:1, 2-hydroxy C18:1, C24:1, and C24:0 fatty acyl chains. As this product is derived from a natural source, there may be variations in the sphingoid backbone. [Matreya, LLC. Catalog No. 1056]
