| Application: |
N-Acetyl-D-sphingosine is a cell-permeable and biologically active ceramide. N-Acetyl-D-sphingosine induces differentiation and apoptosis in cells. N-Acetyl-D-sphingosine produces concentration-dependent impairment of vasorelaxation in response to the endothelium-dependent agonist acetylcholine in nontransgenic mice. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: |
Cell-permeable, biologically active ceramide. It induces differentiation and apoptosis in cells and has been shown to activate protein phosphatases. |
| Packaging: |
1, 5 mg in glass bottle |
| Preparation Note: |
Prepared from D-sphingosine from bovine brain cerebrosides. |
