Uses	The sphingolipid ceramide is a potent inhibitor of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore.
Definition	ChEBI: N-octadecanoylsphingosine is a N-acylsphingosine in which the ceramide N-acyl group is specified as octadecanoyl (stearoyl). It has a role as a mouse metabolite. It is a N-acylsphingosine and a N-stearoyl-sphingoid base. It is functionally related to an octadecanoic acid.
