Abstract excerpt
The stratum corneum (SC) of the epidermis acts as a skin permeability barrier, and abnormalities in SC formation lead to several skin disorders. Lipids, especially the epidermis-specific ceramide classes ω-O-acylceramides (acylceramides) and protein-bound ceramides, are essential for skin barrier formation. Ceramide synthase 3 (CERS3) is involved in the synthesis of acylceramides and protein-bound ceramides, and...
