Changes in membrane biophysical properties induced by sphingomyelinase depend on the sphingolipid N-acyl chain

Changes in membrane biophysical properties induced by sphingomyelinase depend on the sphingolipid N-acyl chain

Ceramide (Cer) is involved in the regulation of several cellular processes by mechanisms that depend on Cer-induced changes on membrane biophysical properties. Accumulating evidence shows that Cers with different N-acyl chain composition differentially impact cell physiology, which may in part be du...
