C2 CERAMIDE

Synonym(s):C2 Ceramide (d18:1/2:0);N-acetoyl-D-erythro-sphingosine;(2S,3R,4E)-2-(Acetylamino)-4-octadecene-1,3-diol;N-Acetoyl-D-erythro-sphingosine;Acetyl ceramide

C2 CERAMIDE Structural

What is C2 CERAMIDE?

Description

C2 ceramide is a cell-permeable analog of naturally occurring ceramides. It mediates many diverse biological activities, as do natural ceramides. These processes include differentiation of HL-60 cells, induction of apoptosis, activation of protein phosphatase 2A, and inhibition of the mitochondrial respiratory chain. C2 ceramide also enhances the expression of COX-2 in human dermal fibroblasts and stimulates the growth of bovine aortic smooth muscle cells. The ability of C2 ceramide to destabilize membranes may be responsible for its inhibition of platelet aggregation.

Chemical properties

White Crystalline Solid

The Uses of C2 CERAMIDE

A biologically active, cell permeable, but nonphysiologic ceramide analog. It inhibits cell proliferation and induces monocytic differentiation of HL-60 cells and induces apoptosis. It stimulates protein phosphatase 2A and activates MAP Kinase2

The Uses of C2 CERAMIDE

Inhibits cell proliferation and induces monocytic differentiation of HL-60 cells. Activates protein phosphatases

What are the applications of Application

C2 Ceramide is a ser/thr protein phosphatase activator and cell-permeable analog of naturally occurring ceramides.

Definition

ChEBI: N-acetylsphingosine is a N-acylsphingosine that has an acetamido group at position 2.

Biological Activity

A potent modulator of cell proliferation and differentiation. Activates protein phosphatase-1 (PP1) and -2A (PP2A), as well as ceramide-activated protein phosphatase (CAPP) in vitro .

Biochem/physiol Actions

Cell-permeable, biologically active ceramide. It induces differentiation and apoptosis in cells and has been shown to activate protein phosphatases.

storage

Desiccate at -20°C
