Phytoceramide in vertebrate tissues: one step chromatography separation for molecular characterization of ceramide species.
Ceramide is a precursor for complex sphingolipids in vertebrates, while plants contain phytoceramide. By using a novel chromatography purification method we show that phytoceramide comprises a significant proportion of animal sphingolipids. Total ceramide including phytoceramide from mouse tissue (b...
