Stereospecific bioactions of 5-hydroxyeicosatetraenoate.

abstract：:Cerebellar granule cells differentiated in culture were incubated with ganglioside [3H-Sph]GM1 in order to have it inserted into the plasma membrane and metabolized. Among the formed metabolites radioactive sphingosine and ceramide were identified. [3H]Ceramide started to be measurable after 10 min of incubation (puls...
