N-acetylsphingosine

N-acetylsphingosine is a lipid of Sphingolipids (SP) class. N-acetylsphingosine is associated with abnormalities such as Morphologically altered structure, Atherosclerosis, Cardiovascular Diseases, Hyperinsulinism and Gigantism. The involved functions are known as inhibitors, anti-apoptosis, Apoptosis, Dephosphorylation and immunoreactivity. N-acetylsphingosine often locates in Plasma membrane, Mitochondria, Pore, Membrane and Cytoplasmic matrix. The associated genes with N-acetylsphingosine are EGR3 gene, CFB gene, FATE1 gene, P4HTM gene and PFDN4 gene. The related lipids are Sphingolipids, Cardiolipins, Glycerophospholipids, dihydroceramide and Phosphatidic Acid.
