fenretinide | a direct inhibitor of Des1 that initially shows competitive inhibition but becomes an irreversible inhibitor over longer incubation times. The 4-aminophenol may play an important role in mediating its irreversible inhibition of Des1, where Des1 oxidation of this group generates a reactive iminoquinone intermediate that reacts with nucleophilic sites on the protein, leading to time-dependent irreversible inhibition of Des1, inhibition mechanism, overview | Homo sapiens | |

malfunction | Des1 inhibition is primarily responsible for the antiproliferative effects of SKI-II and its analogues. The structure-activity relationship of Des1 inhibition correlates to that required for inhibition of PC-3 cell growth, indicating that Des1 inhibition is a key driver of the anticancer effects of SKI-II and it analogues, which is also supported by lipidomic studies in PC-3 cells | Homo sapiens |
physiological function | the de novo synthesis of sphingolipids commences with palmitoyl CoA, which is converted into the central lipid ceramide (Cer) in four steps, the last step being the introduction of the double bond at C4 by dihydroceramide desaturase-1 (Des1) | Homo sapiens |
