摘要:
The present invention provides a ceramidase activity inhibitor which inhibits ceramidase activity, specifically neutral/alkaline ceramidase activity, characterized in that the inhibitor comprises, as an active ingredient, a processed product derived from at least one plant selected from the group consisting of plants belonging to Ginkgoaceae, plants belonging to Cucurbitaceae, plants belonging to Rutaceae, plants belonging to Laminariaceae, plants belonging to Myrtaceae and plants belonging to Compositae, and a medicament, a quasi-drug, cosmetics and a food, each comprising the inhibitor.

摘要:
A process for producing lysosphingolipids by using an enzyme capable of specifically hydrolyzing the acid amide bond between a sphingoid and a fatty acid in a sphingolipid, characterized in that the enzyme reaction is carried out in a two-phase system liquid reaction mixture containing at least an organic solvent forming an aqueous phase and a separation phase in the presence of, if desired, a surfactant.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a novel sphingolipid ceramide N-deacylase (SCDase) having a wide substrate specificity; a method for enzymatically producing a lysosphingolipid or a sphingolipid derivative using the SCDase which is useful in the fields of medicine, carbohydrate engineering, cell engineering, and the like; the lysosphingolipid or sphingolipid derivative obtained by this production method; a gene which encodes a polypeptide having an SCDase activity useful in sphingolipid technology; a method for industrially producing a polypeptide having an SCDase deacylase activity and a recombinant polypeptide thereof using a transformant to which the gene is introduced; a probe or primer which hybridizes to the gene; and an antibody or a fragment thereof which specifically binds to the polypeptide.
