Activation of Ceramidase and Ceramide Kinase by Vanadate via a Tyrosine Kinase–Mediated Pathway

Abstract.: Ceramide, a key molecule in the metabolism of sphingolipids, is converted by ceramidase to sphingosine, and phosphorylated by ceramide kinase to form ceramide-1-phosphate (C1P). In this study, we improved on a method of thin-layer chromatography using a fluorescent ceramide, 4-nitrobenzo-...
