Several extracellular agents and stress stimuli, such as tumour necrosis factor α,
chemotherapeutic agents and heat, cause ceramide accumulation. They do this by
regulating enzymes involved in its metabolism. Ceramide modulates a number of
biochemical and cellular responses to stress, including apoptosis, cell-cycle arrest and cell
senescence.
