Popis: The stratum corneum tryptic enzyme kallikrein 5 (KLK5) is a serine protease that is involved in the cell renewal and maintenance of the skin barrier functions. The excessive activation of KLK5 causes an exacerbation of dermatoses, such as rosacea and atopic dermatitis. Brassica napus play a well-known role in the treatment of canola oil through their anti-oxidative and DNA protective properties. We aimed to investigate whether the bioactive ceramide modulate the KLK5 protease. The ceramides were evaluated using an enzymatic assay to measure the anti-KLK5 activity. Our study revealed that the ceramides modulate the KLK5 and 7 protease activity. Ceramides may affect the skin barrier and atopic function via the regulation of proteases.
