| Targets |
C22-Ceramide is an endogenous bioactive sphingolipid that functions as a structural component of cell membranes. It interacts with other ceramides to modulate membrane properties and signaling pathways. Specifically, C22-Ceramide reduces the propensity of C16-ceramide channel formation in mitochondrial membranes. This interaction suggests a role in regulating ceramide-mediated apoptosis and mitochondrial function. Its targets include membrane lipids and components of the ceramide signaling pathway.
