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.

Ceramides are sphingolipids that greatly stabilize ordered membrane domains (lipid rafts), and displace cholesterol from them. Ceramide-rich rafts have been implicated in diverse biological processes. Because ceramide analogues have been useful for probing the biological function of ceramide, and may
