c18 lthreo ceramide (d18:1/18:0)

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 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 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 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。
