C16 1-Deoxyceramide (m18:1/16:0)

Description

C16 1-Deoxyceramide m18:1/16:0 C16:0 1-Deoxyceramide is a lipid molecule, which is composed of a long-chain fatty acid 16:0 and a 1-deoxysphingoid backbone. Deoxyceramide accumulates under the conditions of obesity and type 2 diabetes T2D . Deoxyceramide is unable to be further metabolized to more complex sphingolipid, and is toxic when accumulates in the body. Deoxyceramide increases in differentiated adipocytes in vitro.
