Abstract excerpt
De novo synthesis and turnover of endogenous ceramide in cultured skin fibroblasts from patients affected with Farber lipogranulomatosis were studied by biosynthetical labeling of cellular sphingolipids with [14C]serine. The cellular uptake of [14C]serine and incorporation into de novo synthesized ceramide was similar in normal and Farber fibroblasts, with a half life of newly synthesized ceramide of 2.7 h in...
