N-[12-[(7-NITRO-2-1,3-BENZOXADIAZOL-4-YL)AMINO]DODECANOYL]-CERAMIDE Usage And Synthesis

Uses

C12-NBD Ceramide or N-[12-[(7-nitro-2-1,3-benzoxadiazol-4-yl)amino]dodecanoyl]-D-erythro-sphingosine has been used as a substrate in ceramidase activity assay. It is also suitable for the lipid binding assays and in cell culture experiments for endothelial cells to determine the pro-apoptotic intracellular ceramide generation.

Definition

ChEBI: N-[12-[(7-Nitro-2-1,3-benzoxadiazol-4-yl)amino]dodecanoyl]-ceramide is an organic molecular entity and a ceramide.

Biological Activity

Ceramide is one of the products of sphingolipid metabolism. The members of ceramide synthase 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.
