C8 CERAMIDE-1-PHOSPHATE (D18:1/8:0)

Application

C8 Ceramide-1-Phosphate (d18:1/8:0) or N-octanoyl-ceramide-1-phosphate has been used: in lipid preparation to treat endothelial colony-forming cells (ECFCs) for nuclear morphology analysis for the validation of C8 ceramide-1-phosphate metabolite to study its effects on the metabolic pathways of Rana catesbeiana during metamorphosis to screen lipids that rapidly and reversibly alter transepithelial electrical resistance (TER) or tight junction (TJ) permeability in epithelial tissue

C8 Ceramide-1-Phosphate (d18:1/8:0) has been used as one of the authentic standards to validate selected metabolites in metabolomic study of vertebrate metamorphosis.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Ceramide-1-phosphate (C1P), as a lipid derived secondary messenger plays a vital role in various cellular processes such as inflammation, cell proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis. It is mitogenic for fibroblasts. C1P is also implicated in the modulation of macrophage chemotaxis. It promotes cell-survival by inhibiting the enzyme acid sphingomyelinase (SMase).

General description

Ceramide-1-phosphate is synthesized from ceramide by the phosphorylation reaction catalyzed by ceramide kinase (CerK).

C8 Ceramide-1-Phosphate (d18:1/8:0) or N-octanoyl-ceramide-1-phosphate is a synthetic short-chain ceramide.
