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

Sphingolipid metabolism yields ceramide as one of the products. The family of ceramide synthases catalyses its synthesis. The ceramides differ 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.
