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.

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.

A fluorescent analogue of ceramide, C12-NBD-ceramide, was found to be hydrolyzed much faster than 14C-labeled ceramide by alkaline ceramidase from Pseudomonas aeruginosa and neutral ceramidase from mouse liver, while this substrate was relatively resistant to acid ceramidase from plasma of

The de novo pathway of ceramide synthesis has been implicated in the pathogenesis of excessive lung apoptosis and murine emphysema. Intracellular and paracellular-generated ceramides may trigger apoptosis and propagate the death signals to neighboring cells, respectively. In this study we
