Species-Specific Differences in the Susceptibility of Fungi to the Antifungal Protein AFP Depend on C-3 Saturation of Glycosylceramides [PDF]
, 2019 AFP is an antimicrobial peptide (AMP) produced by the filamentous fungus Aspergillus giganteus and is a very potent inhibitor of fungal growth that does not affect the viability of bacteria, plant, or mammalian cells.

Synthesis of a versatile (S)-3-(hydroxymethyl)butane-1,2,4-triol building block and its application for the stereoselective synthesis of N-homoceramides [PDF]
, 2005 A versatile (S)-3-(hydroxymethyl)butane-1,2,4-triol building block has been synthesized starting from D-isoascorbic acid, a common food preservative. The key transformation in this approach was the introduction of branching through a high yield and fully

Feeding Stimulates Sphingosine-1-Phosphate Mobilization in Mouse Hypothalamus. [PDF]
, 2019 Previous studies have shown that the sphingolipid-derived mediator sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) reduces food intake by activating G protein-coupled S1P receptor-1 (S1PR1) in the hypothalamus.

Inhibiting glucosylceramide synthase exacerbates cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury
Journal of Lipid Research, 2017 Acute kidney injury (AKI), resulting from chemotherapeutic agents such as cisplatin, remains an obstacle in the treatment of cancer. Cisplatin-induced AKI involves apoptotic and necrotic cell death, pathways regulated by sphingolipids such as ceramide ...

Mice lacking sialyltransferase ST3Gal-II develop late-onset obesity and insulin resistance [PDF]
, 2016 Sialyltransferases are a family of 20 gene products in mice and humans that transfer sialic acid from its activated precursor, CMP-sialic acid, to the terminus of glycoprotein and glycolipid acceptors.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Cer24:1 levels are reduced in neutrophilic asthma and inversely correlate with disease severity and airway neutrophilia. Restoring Cer24:1 suppresses pathogenic Th17 differentiation by engaging EP2 on CD4+ T cells, thereby dampening the JAK2–STAT3–RORγt axis and reducing IL‐17 production.
