1 Ceramide activates NFkappaB by inducing the processing of p105. Ceramides nuclear factor kappa B subunit 1 Homo sapiens
2 Ceramide activates NFkappaB by inducing the processing of p105. Ceramides nuclear factor kappa B subunit 1 Homo sapiens
3 In this paper, we directly compare the effects of the cell-permeable ceramide analogue, N-acetylsphingosine (C2-ceramide), with TNF, on NFkappaB function, a transcription factor whose activation is central to many TNF-mediated effects. Ceramides nuclear factor kappa B subunit 1 Homo sapiens
4 However, electrophoretic mobility shift analysis following cell stimulation with this ceramide analogue revealed a dose-responsive activation of NFkappaB, which was not apparent following cell treatment with the inactive dihydro form. Ceramides nuclear factor kappa B subunit 1 Homo sapiens
5 Our data therefore suggest that ceramide promotes the activation of NFkappaB complexes that lack transactivating activity by enhanced processing of p105. Ceramides nuclear factor kappa B subunit 1 Homo sapiens
6 Our data therefore suggest that ceramide promotes the activation of NFkappaB complexes that lack transactivating activity by enhanced processing of p105. Ceramides nuclear factor kappa B subunit 1 Homo sapiens
