Sphingolipids are fundamental structural components of cell membranes. They also incorporate other components to form membrane lipid rafts. Sphingolipids are involved in the regulation of biological processes including cell growth, differentiation and apoptosis. Ceramide is the central hub of sphingolipids pathway, which includes sphingomyelins, gluco- and galactosylceramides, grouped as hexosylceramides (HexCer), lactosylceramides (LacCer), sphingosine(Sph), dihydrosphingosine (DhSph) and dihydroceramides (DhCer) among other compounds.
