Gaucher disease (GD) is a lysosomal storage disorder caused by mutations in GBA1, the gene that encodes lysosomal β‐glucocerebrosidase (GCase). Mild mutations in GBA1 cause type 1 non‐neuronopathic GD, whereas severe mutations cause types 2 and 3 ...

Adiponectin improves coronary no-reflow injury by protecting the endothelium in rats with type 2 diabetes mellitus. [PDF]
To determine the effect of adiponectin (APN) on the coronary no-reflow (NR) injury in rats with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), 80 male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed with a high-sugar-high-fat diet to build a T2DM model.

Membrane topology of yeast alkaline ceramidase YPC1 [PDF]
Ypc1p (yeast phyto-ceramidase 1) and Ydc1p (yeast dihydroceramidase 1) are alkaline ceramide hydrolases that reside in the ER (endoplasmic reticulum). Ypc1p can catalyse the reverse reaction, i.e. the condensation of non-esterified fatty acids with phytosphingosine or dihydrosphingosine and overexpression of YPC1 or YDC1 can provide enough ceramide ...

ORMDL proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) negatively regulate serine palmitoyltransferase (SPT) activity in response to the rate of de novo sphingolipid synthesis. Disruption of ceramide homeostasis by myriocin or fumonisin B1 (FB1) appears to destabilize the ORMDL‐SPT complex, leading to ORMDL degradation as a feedback mechanism.

Macrophages are critical in limiting replication of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1). Here the authors show how acid ceramidase and its enzymatic product sphingosine enable multivesicular bodies to function as an anti-viral mechanism.

The clinical spectrum of SMA‐PME and in vitro normalization of its cellular ceramide profile
Objective The objectives of this study were to define the clinical and biochemical spectrum of spinal muscular atrophy with progressive myoclonic epilepsy (SMA‐PME) and to determine if aberrant cellular ceramide accumulation could be normalized by enzyme

Characterization of yeast mutants lacking alkaline ceramidases YPC1 and YDC1 [PDF]
Humans and yeast possess alkaline ceramidases located in the early secretory pathway. Single deletions of the highly homologous yeast alkaline ceramidases YPC1 and YDC1 have very little genetic interactions or phenotypes.

Improved synthesis of a fluorogenic ceramidase substrate [PDF]
Substantial interest has focused on the roles of sphingolipid metabolizing enzymes in a variety of hyperproliferative and inflammatory diseases. A key family of enzymes involved in these pathologies is the ceramidases. Ceramidases cleave the pro-apoptotic lipid ceramide into a long-chain fatty acid and sphingosine, which can then be further metabolized
