Neutral ceramidase C also known as N-acylsphingosine amidohydrolase 2C or non-lysosomal ceramidase C or ASAH2C is a

ceramidase Ceramidase (, ''acylsphingosine deacylase'', ''glycosphingolipid ceramide deacylase'') is an enzyme which cleaves fatty acids from ceramide, producing sphingosine (SPH) which in turn is phosphorylated by a sphingosine kinase to form sphingosine- ...

enzyme Enzymes () are proteins that act as biological catalysts by accelerating chemical reactions. The molecules upon which enzymes may act are called substrates, and the enzyme converts the substrates into different molecules known as products ...
