Abstract:
Ceramide plays an important role in sphingolipid metabolic processes. It affects cell signaling pathways, regulates cell and body metabolism, and is related to the occurrence and development of a variety of diseases. In recent years, with the application and development of mass spectrometry technology in the detection of ceramides, ceramides or different combinations of ceramides are found to be potential valuable new biomarkers for clinical diagnosis, risk assessment and prognosis of a variety of diseases. This article reviews the biochemical characteristics, detection methods and clinical application of ceramide, and outlines its application value as biomarkers.
