Figure 1. Ceramide synthesis.

Figure 1

The scheme shows metabolic pathways for ceramide synthesis composed of the sphingomyelinase pathway, the de novo pathway, the exogenous ceramide-recycling pathway, and the salvage pathway. Dotted lines indicate the pathway of ceramide synthesis resulting from recycling/salvaging sphingosine.
