Sphingolipid Ceramide N-Deacylase from Pseudomonas sp. has been used in enzymatic conversion and derivatization of sulfatides. It has also been used to hydrolyze the fatty acid chain of mactosyl ceramide.
General Description
Sphingolipid Ceramide N-Deacylase from Pseudomonas sp. is a hydrolytic enzyme.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Sphingolipid Ceramide N-Deacylase from Pseudomonas sp., under certain conditions, can recyclate lyso-sphingolipids. It condenses fatty acids to sphingosine to generate ceramide. The enzyme mainly acts on neutral and acidic glycosphingolipids.
