  • Sphingolipid metabolites have been implicated as an important component of cell signalling, such as cell proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis. But the roles of phytoceramide and its deraivatives are very poorly understood. even though they are abundant in plants, yeasts and animals including humans. We investigated the effects of N-acetyl-C2-phytosphingosine(NAPS) and the analogue of N.N-dimethylsphingosine(DMS), N,N-dimethylphytosphytosphingosine(DMPS), on cell growth inhibition and apoptosis.
