Acid and alkaline ceramidases of rat tissues

Biochemistry and Cell Biology, 1986
Ceramidase (N-acylsphingosine deacylase) was measured in rat tissue homogenates with N-[1-14C]oleoyl- and N-[9,10-3H]palmitoyl-sphingosine. Two activities were observed with pH optima of approximately 5 and 8. The activity at pH 8 exceeded that at pH 5 in all tissues and tissue areas examined, and both activities decreased in the following order ...

Involvement of acid ceramidase in the degradation of bioactive N-acylethanolamines

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular and Cell Biology of Lipids, 2021
Bioactive N-acylethanolamines (NAEs) include palmitoylethanolamide, oleoylethanolamide, and anandamide, which exert anti-inflammatory, anorexic, and cannabimimetic actions, respectively. The degradation of NAEs has been attributed to two hydrolases, fatty acid amide hydrolase and NAE acid amidase (NAAA).

Acid Ceramidase: A Novel Therapeutic Target in Cancer

Current Topics in Medicinal Chemistry, 2019
Sphingolipids are important constituents of the eukaryotic cell membrane which govern various signaling pathways related to different aspects of cell survival. Ceramide and Sphingosine are interconvertible sphingolipid metabolites, out of which Ceramide is pro-apoptotic and sphingosine is anti-apoptotic in nature.

Kinetic Characteristics of Acidic and Alkaline Ceramidase in Human Epidermis

Skin Pharmacology and Physiology, 2007
It has recently become evident that at least five ceramidase (CDase) isoforms are present in human epidermis, and that specifically acidic CDase (aCDase) and alkaline CDase (alkCDase) activities increase during keratinocyte differentiation, and thus might play a pivotal role(s) in permeability barrier function.

Roles of Acid Ceramidase and Its Cofactor in Biotherapeutics

Molecular Pharmaceutics
Polysorbates (PSs) are frequently used as excipients in protein drug formulations. However, recent findings suggest that lipases and esterases can degrade PSs even at very low concentrations, thereby resulting in biotherapeutic instability and particle formation during stability assessments.

Human acid ceramidase is overexpressed but not mutated in prostate cancer

Genes, Chromosomes and Cancer, 2000
The human acid ceramidase gene, that causes Farber disease, is located in 8p22, a region frequently altered in several cancers, including prostate cancer. Acid ceramidase catalyzes the hydrolysis of ceramide, a potent lipid second messenger molecule that promotes apoptosis and inhibits cellular proliferation.

Targeting IDH1-Mutated Oligodendroglioma with Acid Ceramidase Inhibitors

Abstract Oligodendroglioma is genetically defined as a tumor harboring isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 or 2 mutations (IDH1 mut /IDH2 mut ) and 1p/19q co-deletions. Previously, we reported that in IDH1 mut gliomas, D-
