General description

C12-NBD Galactosyl Ceramide is a fluorescent derivative of biologically active compound galactosyl ceramide. NBD (2-(4-nitro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazol-7-yl) aminoethyl) is a fluorophore. Galactosyl ceramide (Galactocerebroside) is a glycosphingolipid that is synthesized in the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum.

Application

C12-NBD Galactosyl Ceramide may be used as a substrate in biochemical characterization of ceramidase analogue expressed in Aspergillus oryzae.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Galactosyl Ceramide is a precursor of 3′-sulfo-galactosylceramide which is a major sulfoglycolipid present in the brain and other organ systems. It is also a necessary component in differentiation of oligodendrocytes. The abnormal accumulation of galactosyl ceramide is associated with Fabry′s disease and Krabbe′s disease.
