C22 Ceramide (d18:1 22:0) (C22 Ceramide), a long-chain ceramide containing behenic acid, is an endogenous bioactive sphingolipid.C22-Ceramide specifically inhibits MCSR and reduces C16 ceramide channel formation in isolated rat liver mitochondria and liposomes.

C4 Ceramide is a bioactive sphingolipid and cell-permeable analog of naturally occurring ceramides. [1] [2] [3] It inhibits IL-4 production by 16% in EL4 T cells stimulated with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate when used at a concentration of 10 μM. [1] C4 Ceramide is cytotoxic to SK-BR-3 and MCF-7/Adr breast cancer cells (IC50s = 15.9 and 19.9 μM, respectively). [2] C4 Ceramide also increases maturation and stability of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) proteins bearing the F508 deletion (F508del) mutation, enhances cAMP-activated chloride secretion, and suppresses secretion of IL-8 in primary epithelial cells isolated from patients with cystic fibrosis.[3]

N-Stearoylsphingosine (Cer(d18:1 18:0)) is an amide compound widely found in eukaryotic organisms that enhances protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) activity by interfering with the binding of PP2A to PP2A inhibitor 2, leading to dephosphorylation of Akt.N-Stearoylsphingosine is used in prostate cancer research.

C14 Ceramide (d18:1 14:0) is an endogenous ceramide produced by ceramide synthetase 6, which can be used for Parkinson's research.

C18:1 Ceramide is a naturally occurring ceramide.[1][2][3] Levels of C18:1 ceramide are elevated in overweight and insulin-resistant mice and cattle.[1][2] C18:1 Ceramide is also increased in the plasma and ovarian tissue of patients with advanced ovarian cancer. [3]
