C8 DIHYDROCERAMIDE (D18:0/8:0)

Application

C8 Dihydroceramide (d18:0/8:0) has been used as an internal standard to quantify the lipid extracted from human plasma by liquid chromatography mass spectrometry during high-throughput plasma lipidomics.

Biochem/physiol Actions

C8 Dihydroceramide (d18:0/8:0) or N-octanoyl-D-erythro-sphinganine, is a synthetic dihydroceramide. Dihydroceramide acts as a precursor for de-novo ceramide synthesis. C8 Dihydroceramide mimics γ-tocotrienol (γTE) in stimulating NF-κB-target protein A20 expression, increasing endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and reducing tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-triggered nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) activation.
