Ceramide structural features required to stimulate ABCA1-mediated cholesterol efflux to apolipoprotein A-I
Ceramide is a component of the sphingomyelin cycle and a well-established lipid signaling molecule. We recently reported that ceramide specifically increased ABCA1-mediated cholesterol efflux to apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I), a critical process that leads to the formation of cardioprotective HDL.
