C24:1 Dihydro 1-deoxyceramide (m18:0/24:1) (C24:1 Deoxy dihydroceramide) is a lipid molecule, which is composed of a long-chain fatty acid (24:1) and a 1-deoxysphingoid backbone. Deoxyceramide accumulates under the conditions of obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D). Deoxyceramide is unable to be further metabolized to more complex sphingolipid, and is toxic when accumulates in the body. Deoxyceramide increases in differentiated adipocytes in vitro.
