c18 3'sulfo galactosylceramide (d18:1/18:0)

C18 3'-sulfo Galactosylceramide is a member of the sulfatide class of glycolipids. Levels of short-chain sulfatides, including C18 3'-sulfo galactosylceramide, decrease with age in mice and humans. It is increased in brain from mice with an arylsulfatase A deficiency (ASA-KO), particularly in lipid raft fractions. Plasma levels of C18 3'-sulfo galactosylceramide positively correlate with disability progression in patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis using the Expanded Disability Status Scale. It is also increased in plasma from patients with metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD).

C18 D-threoCeramide (d18:1/18:0) is a synthetic ceramide and stereoisomer of C18 ceramide .1It inhibits rat brain mitochondrial ceramidase (mt-CDase) with an IC50value of 16.6 μM.2[Matreya, LLC.

C18 L-threo Ceramide is a synthetic ceramide and stereoisomer of C18 ceramide that has been used for structural characterization of natural sphingolipids. It inhibits rat brain mitochondrial ceramidase (mt-CDase) with an IC50 value of 0.21 mol% (16.8 μM).

C18 globotriaosylceramide is an endogenous sphingolipid found in mammalian cell membranes that is synthesized from lactosylceramide . It inhibits aggregation of human neutrophils induced by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA; 10008014) when used at a concentration of 1 μM. C18 globotriaosylceramide acts as a receptor for Shiga toxin in B cell-derived Raji cells and THP-1 monocytes. It accumulates in the brain, heart, kidney, liver, lung, and spleen in a mouse model of Fabry disease, a lysosomal storage disorder characterized by a deficiency in the enzyme α-galactosidase A. C18 globotriaosylceramide also accumulates in endothelial cells, pericytes, vascular smooth muscle cells, renal epithelial cells, dorsal ganglia neuronal cells, and myocardial cells in patients with Fabry disease.

C18 L-erythro Ceramide (d18:1/18:0)可显著降低细胞外 Aβ 水平，可用于研究阿尔茨海默病。

N-Stearoylsphingosine (Cer(d18:1/18:0)) 是一种广泛存在真核生物体内的酰胺类化合物，通过干扰PP2A与PP2A抑制剂2的结合来增强蛋白质磷酸酶2A(PP2A)活性，导致Akt去磷酸化。N-Stearoylsphingosine 可用于研究前列腺癌。
