Enzo Life Sciences KRN7000 (100 µg). CAS: 158021-47-7

Supplier: Enzo Life Sciences BMLSL2320100

KRN7000 is a synthetic analog of α-galactosylceramide and the marine natural product agelasphin. It is a specific ligand for human and mouse NKT cells and remains the best studied ligand of the lipid-binding MHC class I-like protein CD1d. It protects against LPS-induced shock and displays potent antitumor activity in various in vivo models. Alternative name: α-Galactosylceramide, α-Gal-Cer, (2S,3S,4R)-1-O-(α-D-Galactosyl)-N-hexacosanoyl-2-amino-1,3,4-octadecanetriol. Purity: ≥98% (TLC). Solubility: KRN7000 is inherently an extremely hydrophobic molecule, therefore, almost all the methods for solubilizing this material in primarily aqueous media will contain at least some detergent. For cell culture or other in vivo models, it is recommended that the KRN7000 be initially dissolved in a 2:1 mixture of chloroform and methanol. This solution should then be aliquoted into amounts suitable for a day’s use into glass vials. Long Term Storage: -20°C.
