General Information

General Information Comment Organism
malfunction inhibition of acid ceramidase activity sensitizes tumor cells to the effects of antineoplastic agents and radiation Rattus norvegicus
malfunction inhibition of acid ceramidase activity sensitizes tumor cells to the effects of antineoplastic agents and radiation. Carmofur inhibits acid ceramidase and increases ceramide levels in human SW403 and LNCaP cells Homo sapiens
physiological function acid ceramidase is a cysteine amidase that hydrolyses the proapoptotic lipid ceramide, and is abnormally high in several human tumors, which is suggestive of a role in chemoresistance. The enzyme is involved in the regulation of ceramide levels in cells and modulates the ability of this lipid messenger to influence the survival, growth and death of tumor cells Homo sapiens
