1 Ceramide has been found to be a second messenger, which activates the c-jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) that is required for apoptotic cell death. Ceramides mitogen-activated protein kinase 8 Homo sapiens
2 Ceramide has been found to be a second messenger, which activates the c-jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) that is required for apoptotic cell death. Ceramides mitogen-activated protein kinase 8 Homo sapiens
3 Inhibition of ceramide production by desipramine (25-50 microM) reduced UV-induced JNK activation in both 293 and Jurkat cells; and protects 293 cells from UV-induced apoptosis. Ceramides mitogen-activated protein kinase 8 Homo sapiens
4 These results suggest that UV-induced JNK activation and apoptosis can be mediated through a ceramide dependent or an independent pathway. Ceramides mitogen-activated protein kinase 8 Homo sapiens
