Common Name(2S,3R,4E)-2-N-Palmitoyloctadecasphinga-4-ene
DescriptionCer(d18:1/16:0), Also known as C16 cer or ceramide, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as long-chain ceramides. These are ceramides bearing a long chain fatty acid. Thus, cer(D18:1/16:0) Is considered to be a ceramide lipid molecule. (2S,3R,4E)-2-N-Palmitoyloctadecasphinga-4-ene is found in Junceella juncea and Trypanosoma brucei. (2S,3R,4E)-2-N-Palmitoyloctadecasphinga-4-ene was first documented in 1994 (PMID: 8163674). Cer(d18:1/16:0) Is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral (PMID: 14722105) (PMID: 9545298) (PMID: 15067322) (PMID: 14693694).
