The main lipids components of the cell membrane are the sphingolipids, cholesterol, and other phospholipids. The most predominant element of the sphingolipid molecule in the cell membrane is sphingomyelin, which is composed of a hydrophilic phosphorylcholine headgroup and a highly hydrophobic ceramide molecule. The ceramide group in sphingomyelin composed from amide ester of the sphingoid base D-erythro-sphingosine and a fatty acid of C16–C26 chain length. The lateral association of sphingolipids
