What is Ceramide?

Ceramide(pronounced ser-A-mid OR seramide) are a family of lipid molecules. It is composed of sphingosine and a fatty acid. It is found in high concentrations within the cell membrane of cells. They are one of the component lipids that make up sphingomyelin, one of the major lipids in the lipid bilayer. For years, it was assumed that ceramides and other sphingolipids found in the bilayer cell membrane were purely structural elements. This is now known to be not completely true. It can actually act as a signaling molecule. The most well-known functions of them as cellular signals include regulating the differentiation, proliferation, programmed cell death (PCD), and apoptosis (Type I PCD) of cells.
