Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Sphingolipids are important components of cellular membranes and act as signaling molecules such as ceramide and sphingosine 1-phosphate, potentially regulating cellular processes such as growth, differentiation, adhesion, migration, autophagy, and apoptosis. Here, we have investigated the biological function of sphingolipid metabolic enzymes by using mice and C. elegans mutants deficient for these enzymes.
