产品说明
一般描述
C6-NBD Galactosyl Ceramide is a fluorescent analog of the sphingolipid, galactosyl ceramide. Its fluorescent property is due to presence of NBD (2-(4-nitro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazol-7-yl) aminoethyl) group.
应用
C6-NBD Galactosyl Ceramide is suitable for use as a substrate in neutral β-glycosylceramidase (GCase) activity assay.
生化/生理作用
Galactosyl ceramide is also known as galactocerebroside and is produced in the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum. Galactosyl ceramide is a vaccine adjuvant, it stimulates natural killer T (NKT) cells to increase secretion of T helper type 1 (Th1) and T-helper type 2 (TH2) cytokines. Galactosyl ceramide accumulation in excess is responsible for diseases such as Krabbe′s disease. Galactocerebroside is a precursor of 3′-sulfo-galactosylceramide, a vital sulfoglycolipid found in the brain and other organs.
