Role of ceramide 1 in the molecular organization of the stratum corneum lipids

Role of ceramide 1 in the molecular organization of the stratum corneum lipids

The main barrier of the skin is formed by the lipids in the apical skin layer, the stratum corneum (SC). In SC mainly ceramides (CER), free fatty acids (FFA) and cholesterol (CHOL) are present. The CER are composed of at least six different fractions. CER 1 has an exceptional molecular structure as...
