Ceramides of pig epidermis: structure determination

Seven distinguishable groups of ceramides have been isolated from pig epidermis and identified. In order of increasing polarity there are: 1, N-(omega-acyloxy)acylsphingosines (7.7%); 2, N-acylsphingosines (42.4%); 3, N-acylphytosphingosines (10.2%); 4, N-(alpha-hydroxy)acylsphingosines (12,1%); 5,...
