Synopsis

This volume assembles up-to-date information on the role of ceramide as a signalling molecule in 16 chapters. Specific attention is given to mechanisms of analysis of ceramide and its biophysical properties, on enzymes of ceramide metabolism and down-stream targets of ceramide, on the cross-talk of ceramide signalling with other signalling pathways, and on the role of ceramide in neuronal signalling. Finally, the book closes with a section on the therapeutic implications of ceramide action, in the areas of cannabinoid action, chemotherapy, and atheriosclerosis, and illustrates the potential medical significance of delineating the roles of ceramide in cell signalling.
