• Mammalian Ceramide Synthases (2010, background): “CerS3 is able to synthesize ceramides containing a-hydroxy (2-hydroxy) fatty acids, which are abundant in the skin (65, 66) where they are involved in maintaining the water permeability barrier function (67).”
• Lipolysis – A highly regulated multi-enzyme complex mediates the catabolism of cellular fat stores (2011, background): “They are required for the activation of PPARs during keratinocyte differentiation [190–194], the formation of long-chain fatty acid x-OH-ceramides [195,196], and the subsequent generation of acylceramides.”
