Long-chain bases

Long-chain base (LCB or sphingoid base) is a 2-aminoalkane (or alkene) 1,3-diol with 2R, 3R stereochemistry (D-erythro for dihydroxy LCB and D-ribo for trihydroxy LCB). Major types are listed in the following Table. Animals usually contain LCB of length 18 (d18:1) and a little amount of d20:1. In yeast (S. cerevisiae), the predominant LCB is 4-hydroxysphinganine (t18:0)[1]. In higher plants, six LCB are major( (8E/Z)-d18:1, (8E/Z)-t18:1, (4E,8E/Z)-d18:2) with little d18:0 and t18:0. This means (4E/Z)-d18:1 is absent in plants. Insects contain LCB of shorter chains, e.g. d14:1 and d16:1.

長鎖塩基(またはスフィンゴイド塩基)は 2-アミノアルカン(またはアルケン) 1,3-ジオールを指す(立体化学はジヒドロキシLCBがD-エリスロ、トリヒドロキシLCBがD-リボ型)。代表的なものは以下のとおり。動物は通常、鎖長18のLCBを持ち (d18:1)、少量の d20:1 がある。イースト(パン酵母)で主要なLCBは t18:0 になる。高等植物では 6 種の LCB、(8E/Z)-d18:1, (8E/Z)-t18:1, (4E,8E/Z)-d18:2と、少量のd18:0, t18:0が見られる。(4E/Z)-d18:1 は見られない。昆虫は短い炭素鎖のスフィンゴイド塩基、例えば d14:1, d16:1 を持つ。

Major Sphingoid

Name Symbol Abbreviation Note
sphingosine = (4E)-sphingenine
(4E)-2-amino-octadec-4-ene-1,3-diol
d18:1 So Major in mammals
sphinganine = dihydrosphingosine
2-amino-octadecane-1,3-diol
d18:0 Sa or DHSo Lacking the trans-double bond of sphingosine
4-hydroxysphinganine = phytosphingosine
2-amino-octadecane-1,3,4-triol
t18:0 Phyto Major in yeast (S. cerevisiae)
6-hydroxysphingosine
(4E)-2-amino-octadec-4-ene-1,3,6-triol
6-t18:1 Found in skin

Notation

d18:1  h, d or t stands for single, double, or triple hydroxy groups, respectively.
18 is the carbon chain length.
1 is the number of unsaturated bonds (double bonds).
  1. Yeast is an exceptional case. Many fungi contain a (4,8)-diunsaturated, 9-methyl-branched LCB.

Ceramides

The word ceramide (Cer) basically refers to all N-acyl-sphingoid bases, but most representative one is N-acylsphingosines. The conjugated fatty acids are often 16 to 26 carbon chains, but ceramides in skin may contain >30 carbon chains.

セラミドという言葉は基本的に N-アシルスフィンゴイド塩基を指すが、最も代表的なものは N-アシルスフィンゴシンである。結合する脂肪酸の炭素長は16から26だが、皮膚のセラミドには長さが30以上の場合もある。

GIPC

Glycosyl inositol phosphoceramides (GIPCs) were historically referred to as 'phytoglycolipids' (PGLs), although they are not plant-specific.[1][2] PGL was defined as inositolceramide with hexosamine, and its head-group without hexosamine was called ceramide phosphate polysaccharide (CPPS). The term GIPC was later introduced to cover them.

In LipidBank, we classify GIPC into four types:

  1. P2 series: Glucosamine next to inositol (Fungi and Protista)
  2. P3 series: Glucuronic acid next to inositol (Plant)
  3. P4 series: Mannose next to inositol (Fungi)
  4. P5 series: Others
  5. (P1 series are sphingomyelin and phosphoethanolamine ceramide.)

糖イノシトールセラミドリン酸 (GIPC) は歴史的にはフィト糖脂質 (PGL) として発見されたが、植物に特異な物質ではない。PGL はセラミドリン酸糖鎖 (CPPS) とよばれる構造の末端にヘキソサミンがつく構造とされ、後に GIPC と呼ばれるようになった。

LipidBankではGIPCを4つに分類している。

  1. イノシトールの次がグルコサミン (原生動物と菌類)
  2. イノシトールの次がグルクロン酸 (植物)
  3. イノシトールの次がマンノース (菌類)
  4. その他
