The molecule is a dihydroceramide obtained by formal condensation of the carboxy group of tetracosanoic acid with the amino group of 14-methylhexadecasphinganine. It is a metabolite of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. It has a role as a Caenorhabditis elegans metabolite. It is a dihydroceramide and a N-(very-long-chain fatty acyl)-sphingoid base. It derives from a tetracosanoic acid.
