C6-NBD Ceramide - 5 mg

Activity: Fluorescent Golgi probe . Function/Pharmacology: C6-NBD Ceramide is a selective stain for the Golgi apparatus.1 Readily taken up by MDCK cells and converted into C6-NBD-sphingomyelin and C6-NBD-glucosyl-ceramide.2 A useful substrate for assay of ceramide kinase.3 May be used to monitor the biosynthesis and degradation of sphinogmyelin in cellular systems.4 Ex: 455 nm and Em: 533 nm.4 Chemical Name: N-[7-(4-Nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole)]-6-aminocaproyl-D-erythro-sphingosine; N-(NBD-aminohexanoyl) D-erythro-sphingosine
