C16-ceramide is a naturally occurring ceramide that activates the tumor suppressor p53 via direct, selective binding to its core domain. Supplied as a high-purity solid, it is used as a biochemical research reagent to study p53 signaling, apoptosis, and sphingolipid metabolism in cell-based and biochemical assays.
- Activates p53 through direct binding.
- Induces apoptosis and decreases cell viability in cell-based assays.
- High purity suitable for research applications.
- Solid, white to off-white appearance with defined storage recommendations.
- Available in small pack sizes for laboratory use.
