DescriptionN-Hexacosanoylphytosphingosine, also known as cer2_26 or N-hexacosanoyl-4-hydroxysphinganine, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as phytoceramides. These are n-acylated 4-hydroxysphinganine. Thus, N-hexacosanoylphytosphingosine is considered to be a ceramide lipid molecule. N-Hexacosanoylphytosphingosine is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral.

General function:
Involved in hydrolase activity, acting on carbon-nitrogen (but not peptide) bonds, in linear amides
Specific function:
Catalyzes the conversion of dihydroceramide and also phytoceramide to dihydrosphingosine or phytosphingosine. Prefers dihydroceramide. Very low reverse hydrolysis activity, catalyzing synthesis of dihydroceramide from fatty acid and dihydrosphingosine. Is not responsible for the breakdown of unsaturated ceramide. May play a role in heat stress response
