Application

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.

Biochem/physiol Actions

C12-7-nitro-2-1,3-benzoxadiazol-4-yl (NBD) Ceramide is useful for measuring the alkaline and neutral ceramidase activity. It is involved in maintainingthe physical properties of ceramide required for cellular studies.

General description

C12 7-nitro-2-1,3-benzoxadiazol-4-yl (NBD) ceramide is a long-chain fluorescent phospholipid. It is a natural analog of ceramide with C12 acyl chain length.
