General description

C8 Ceramide-1-Phosphate (d17:1/8:0) is a novel bioactive sphingolipid. It is formed by the phosphorylation of C8-ceramide or N-octanoyl-D-erythro-sphingosine (C17 base) catalyzed by ceramide kinase (CERK). C1P is a sphingolipid analog of phosphatidate.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Ceramide 1-phosphate (C1P) acts as a mitogenic agent. It exhibits antiapoptotic and prosurvival properties. C1P stimulates inflammatory response and facilitates phagocytosis. It also has an ability to negatively regulate tumor necrosis factor-α (TNFα) production induced by lipopolysaccharide. C1P is reputed to be a second lipid messenger of agonist-stimulated sphingomyelin metabolism.

Ceramide 1-phosphate (C1P) is a novel bioactive sphingolipid formed by ceramide kinase (CERK)-catalyzed phosphorylation of ceramide. It has been implicated in the regulation of such vital pathophysiological functions as phagocytosis and inflammation, but there have been no reports ascribing a

Sphingolipids are essential components of cell membranes, and many of them regulate vital cell functions. In particular, ceramide plays crucial roles in cell signaling processes. Two major actions of ceramides are the promotion of cell cycle arrest and the induction

It was reported previously that ceramide-1-phosphate (Cer-1-P) is mitogenic for fibroblasts (Gómez-Muñoz, A., P. A. Duffy, A. Martin, L. O'Brien, H-S. Byun, R. Bittman, and D. N. Brindley. 1995. Mol. Pharmacol. 47: 883-889; Gómez-Muñoz, A., L. M. Frago, L. Alvarez

Ceramide and ceramide-1-phosphate are sphingolipid analogues of diacylglycerol and phosphatidate, respectively, and they are putative second messengers of agonist-stimulated sphingomyelin metabolism. The interactions of exogenous cell-permeable ceramides and ceramide-1-phosphates in modifying DNA synthesis and signal transduction were investigated in Rat-1
