N-OLEOYL-D-SPHINGOSINE

C18:1 Ceramide is a naturally occurring ceramide. Levels of C18:1 ceramide are elevated in overweight and insulin-resistant mice and cattle. C18:1 Ceramide is also increased in the plasma and ovarian tissue of patients with advanced ovarian cancer.

N-Oleoyl-D-erythro-sphingosine is a member of the ceramide family.

ChEBI: N-oleoylsphingosine is a N-acylsphingosine in which the ceramide N-acyl group is specified as oleoyl. It has a role as a mouse metabolite. It is functionally related to an oleic acid.
