Defining the glucosylceramide population of C. elegans [PDF]

Frontiers in Physiology, 2023
Glucosylceramides (GlcCer) are lipids that impact signaling pathways, serve as critical components of cellular membranes, and act as precursors for hundreds of other complex glycolipid species.

Glucosylceramides From Lomentospora prolificans Induce a Differential Production of Cytokines and Increases the Microbicidal Activity of Macrophages

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Lomentospora prolificans is an emerging opportunistic fungus with a high resistance to antifungal agents and it can cause localized infections in immunocompetent patients and disseminated infections with a high mortality rate in immunosuppressed patients.

Improving Skin Hydration and Age-related Symptoms by Oral Administration of Wheat Glucosylceramides and Digalactosyl Diglycerides: A Human Clinical Study

Cosmetics, 2017
Ceramides are known to play a key role in the skin’s barrier function. An age-dependent decrease in ceramides content correlates with cutaneous clinical signs of dryness, loss of elasticity, and increased roughness.

Biallelic GLTP mutations cause nonsyndromic epidermal differentiation disorder via disrupted epidermal glucosylceramide transport [PDF]

The Journal of Clinical Investigation
Ceramides are essential skin lipids for maintaining the mammalian skin permeability barrier, which protects against external stimuli. The precursor of epidermal ceramides, glucosylceramides (GlcCer), is synthesized within granular keratinocytes while its

Trends in Glucocerebrosides Research: A Systematic Review

Frontiers in Physiology, 2020
Glucocerebrosides are sphingolipid components of cell membranes that intervene in numerous cell biological processes and signaling pathways and that deregulation is implicated in human diseases such as Gaucher disease and Parkinson's disease.

Control of glucosylceramide production and morphogenesis by the Bar1 ceramide synthase in Fusarium graminearum. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
The contribution of plasma membrane proteins to the virulence of plant pathogenic fungi is poorly understood. Accordingly, the objective of this study was to characterize the acyl-CoA dependent ceramide synthase Bar1 (previously implicated in plasma ...
