Ceramidases catalyze hydrolysis of ceramides to generate sphingosine (SPH). which is phosphorylated to form sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P). Ceramide, SPH, and S1P are bioactive lipids that mediate cell proliferation. differentiation, apoptosis, adhesion, and migration. Presently, 5 human ceramidases encoded by 5 distinct genes have been cloned: acid ceramidase (AC), neutral ceramidase (NC) alkaline ceramidase 1 (ACER1), alkaline ceramidase 2 (ACER2), and alkaline ceramidase 3 (ACER3). Each human ceramidase has a mouse counterpart. AC, NC, and ACERI-3 have maximal activities in acidic, neutral, and alkaline environments, respectively. ACERI-3 have similar protein sequences but 110 homology to AC and NC. AC and NC also have distinct protein sequences. The human AC (hAC was implicated in Farber disease, and hAC may be important for cell Survival. The mouse AC (mAC) is needed for early embryo Survival. NC is protective against inflammatory cytokines, and the mouse NC(mNC) is required for the catabolism of ceramides in the digestive tract. ACER 1 is critical in mediating cell differentiation by controlling the generation of SPH and S1P and that ACER2's role in cell proliferation and survival depends on its expression or the cell type in which it is found. Here, we discuss the role of each ceramidase in regulating cellular responses mediated by ceramides, SPH. and S1P. Published by Elsevier B.V
