Background: Pro-TNF alpha is transformed into the active/soluble form through proteolysis by TNF alpha-converting enzyme (TACE). Results: Genetic ablation of ceramide kinase induces an increase in TACE activity and secreted TNF alpha. Conclusion: Ceramide 1-phosphate (C1P) negatively regulates the activity of TACE. Significance: The TACE/C1P interaction is a viable drug target for the treatment of heart disease and sepsis.
