Glucosylceramide metabolism is regulated during normal and hormonally stimulated epidermal barrier development in the rat
Glucosylceramides, delivered to the stratum corneum interstices by exocytosis of lamellar body contents, are enzymatically hydrolyzed to ceramides, which are major components of the lipid lamellar bilayers that mediate epidermal barrier function. Because this conversion is critical for permeability...
