Unchanged expression of the ceramide transfer protein in the acute 6-OHDA neurodegenerative model

► Ceramides are increased in Parkinson's disease. ► CERT is the only known protein with the ability to shuttle ceramide. ► The loss of function in the Parkinsonian rat model it does not involve changes in CERT levels. ► Our work is the first study analysing the levels of the transporter of ceramide in acute neurodegeneration.
