C6-NBD-dihydroceramide

Description

C6 NBD L-threo-dihydroceramide is a sphingolipid that has been tagged with a fluorescent group C6 nitrobenzoxadiazole (C6 NBD), an isomer of C6 NBD dihydro ceramide.

Uses

C-6 NBD-dihydro-Ceramide is structurally indistinguishable to C-6 NBD ceramide, except it contains a saturated bond in the C-4/C-5 position of the sphingosine backbone. C-6 NBD Ceramide is a biologically active fluorescent analog of short chain, membrane-permeable ceramides.
