Substrate specificity of rat brain ceramidase

In this study, the substrate specificity of a newly identified rat brain ceramidase (CDase) was investigated. To this end, the major functional groups and stereochemistry of ceramide (Cer) were evaluated for their influence on the hydrolysis of substrate by this CDase. The results showed that, of th...
