General description

C6(6-azido) Ceramide, also known as N-(6-azidohexanoyl)-D-erythro-sphingosine, is a head group modified lipid. This click reagent contains an azide group in the omega-terminal end, which can be used in a copper-catalyzed azide−alkyne click chemistry. Copper-catalyzed azide−alkyne cycloaddition reaction facilitates the connection of molecular entities of all sizes.
This reagent is a modified lipid containing an omega-terminal azide. The terminal azide group can be used in a highly specific linking reaction with alkyne-containing reagents, known as click chemistry, in the presence of a copper (Cu)-containing catalyst.
