What is Ceramide?
A ceramide is a lipid molecule composed of the amino acid sphingosine and a fatty acid. Ceramides exist in great concentrations in the plasma membrane of a cell and act as signaling molecules for a number of cellular functions. Ceramide may also have a role in certain pathological states, including cancer, diabetes, obesity, and inflammation. All cells are covered with a semi-permeable membrane composed of a lipid bilayer, two rows of lipid molecules. Each lipid molecule has a hydrophilic protein head that faces the outside of the membrane and a tail composed of fatty acid. The cell membrane is designed to selectively allow molecules into or out of the cell and aids in a number of cellular functions. In a ceramide, the head is sphingosine. Ceramide triggers cell functions including cell growth arrest, cell senescence, differentiation, proliferation, adhesion, cell migration, and apoptosis, or programmed cell death. It is believed to aid in suppressing the spread of cancer through some
