Description

General description

C6-NBD ceramide is a fluorescent labelled compound, known to be useful for the detection of enzymatic action. C6-NBD ceramide is preferred over radioactive compounds.

Application

C6-NBD Ceramide is suitable as a substrate for sphingomyelin synthase activity assay.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Ceramide is one of the products of sphingolipid metabolism. The members of ceramide synthases family are responsible for its synthesis. Each ceramide synthesized differs in its acyl chain length. Ceramides possess a wide range of functions, associated with apoptosis, cancer inhibition and chemotherapy. Its action is also related to neurodegenerative diseases.
