Melting Point: 76-77°C
Purity: >98%
Solubility: water, 0.001415 mg/L @ 25 °C (est)
Application: A biologically active, cell permeable, but nonphysiologic ceramide analog. It stimulates protein phosphatase 2A at concentrations as low as 10 nM and activiates MAP kinase. It induces apoptosis and inhibits glycoproptein traffic by the secretory pathway
Storage: Store at -20°C
Synonyms: N-hexanoyl-D-erythro-sphingosine; C6 Ceramide (d18:1/6:0); N-hexanoylsphingosine
DescriptionC6-ceramide, a sphingolipid molecule, plays a pivotal role in prompting apoptotic cell death and controlling intricate cellular mechanisms. Extensive research has explored its promising therapeutic prospects in combatting cancer, neurodegeneration, and inflammatory disorders.
