C18-ceramide is a naturally occurring sphingolipid used as a research reagent to investigate cell signaling, apoptosis, autophagy, and neuronal injury mechanisms. It is reported to cross the blood-brain barrier and to affect endoplasmic reticulum stress pathways, PI3K/AKT signaling, and membrane trafficking processes.
- Useful for studies of apoptosis and autophagy
- Crosses the blood-brain barrier, enabling neuroscience applications
- Modulates endoplasmic reticulum stress and PI3K/AKT signaling
- High purity suitable for analytical and biological assays
- Multiple pack sizes available to match experimental scale
- Soluble in ethanol and DMF with sonication for in vitro use
