C16 Dihydroceramide (d18:0/16:0)

Catalog NumberBL-M000946
CAS Number5966-29-0
DescriptionC16 Dihydroceramide is a dihydroceramide compound relevant to the study of ceramide synthase activity and sphingolipid generation. C16 Dihydroceramide (0-46 nM) inhibits C16 ceramide-induced membrane permeabilization, measured as cytochrome c oxidation, in rat liver mitochondria in a concentration-dependent manner. It also inhibits C16 ceramide-induced channel formation in liposomes. C16 Dihydroceramide is biologically inactive as a single agent, lacking the ability to induce apoptosis, cytochrome c release, or channel formation in phospholipid membranes in the absence of C16 ceramide.
