Description

Application

N-Acetyl-D-sphingosine is a cell-permeable and biologically active ceramide. N-Acetyl-D-sphingosine induces differentiation and apoptosis in cells. N-Acetyl-D-sphingosine produces concentration-dependent impairment of vasorelaxation in response to the endothelium-dependent agonist acetylcholine in nontransgenic mice.

Biochem/physiol Actions

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

Preparation Note

Prepared from D-sphingosine from bovine brain cerebrosides.
