General description

Ceramides containing 2-hydroxy fatty acids (hFA) are present in the surface epithelium of the skin. 24:0(2S-OH) Ceramide is a unique ceramide containing 24C long chain base fatty acid (lignoceric acid)-with 2′-hydroxyl group in S configuration. NAD(P)H-dependent enzyme, fatty acid 2-hydroxylase (FA2H) catalyzes the synthesis of hFA-ceramide. Ceramides containing hFA in epidermis help in permeability barrier function.

2-Hydroxylated fatty acid (HFA)-containing sphingolipids are abundant in mammalian skin and are believed to play a role in the formation of the epidermal barrier. Fatty acid 2-hydroxylase (FA2H), required for the synthesis of 2-hydroxylated sphingolipids in various organs, is highly

FA 2-hydroxylase (FA2H) is an NAD(P)H-dependent enzyme that initiates FA α oxidation and is also responsible for the biosynthesis of 2-hydroxy FA (2-OH FA)-containing sphingolipids in mammalian cells. The 2-OH FA is chiral due to the asymmetric carbon bearing the
