C16 ceramide is a naturally occurring sphingolipid (N-palmitoylsphingosine) used as a research reagent that activates p53 through direct, selective binding. Supplied as a white to off-white solid, it is used in cell biology studies of apoptosis, cell signaling, and mitochondrial membrane permeability. Store protected from light at 4°C; in solution store at -80°C (long term) or -20°C (short term).
- Activates p53 through direct, selective binding.
- Endogenous sphingolipid for studies of apoptosis and cell signaling.
- Supplied as a stable solid, white to off-white in color.
- Compatible with common organic solvents; prepare fresh solutions and protect from light.
- Intended for research use only.
