General description
C6-NBD Lactosyl ceramide is a commercially available fluorescent analog of compound lactosyl ceramide. Lactosyl ceramide is present on neutrophils and macrophages.
Application
C6-NBD Lactosyl Ceramide has been used in:
- lactosylceramide synthase assay as a fluorescent acceptor substrate identified using fluorescence based detector in HPLC(1)
- phospholipid labeling and fluorescence-lifetime imaging microscopy (FILM) of cell membranes(6)
Biochem/physiol Actions
Lactosyl ceramide is utilized for synthesis of various glycosphingolipids like oligoglycosylceramides and gangliosides in vertebrates. It is an important molecule involved in signaling cascades leading to phenotypic changes such as adhesion, migration, cell proliferation and angiogenesis.

Glucosylceramide synthase (GlcT) and lactosylceramide synthase (GalT) are key enzymes for the synthesis of major glycosphingolipids of vertebrates. In this article, we report a new reliable method to determine GlcT and GalT activities using the fluorescent acceptor substrates C6-4-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole (NBD)-ceramide

Glycosphingolipids (GSLs), cell type-specific markers which change dramatically during ontogenesis and oncogenesis, have been implicated as playing major roles in cellular interactions and control of cell proliferation in multicellular organisms. These functional roles have been partially clarified through two types

Although lactosylceramide (LacCer) plays a pivotal role in the biosynthesis of nearly all the major glycosphingolipids, its function in regulating cellular function has begun to emerge only recently. Our current opinion is that several physiologically critical molecules such as modified/oxidized

Lectins are responsible for cell surface sugar recognition in bacteria, animals, and plants. Examples include bacterial toxins; animal receptors that mediate cell-cell interactions, uptake of glycoconjugates, and pathogen neutralization; and plant toxins and mitogens. The structural basis for selective sugar

The ABCA1 transporter orchestrates cellular lipid homeostasis by promoting the release of cholesterol to plasmatic acceptors. The molecular mechanism is, however, unknown. We report here on the biophysical analysis in living HeLa cells of the ABCA1 lipid microenvironment at the
