N-Hexanoyl-D-sphingomyelin

Description:
N-Hexanoyl-D-sphingomyelin is a sphingolipid, a class of lipids that play crucial roles in cellular structure and signaling. This compound features a hexanoyl (caproyl) fatty acid chain attached to the sphingomyelin backbone, which consists of a sphingosine base linked to a phosphocholine head group. The presence of the hexanoyl group contributes to its amphiphilic nature, allowing it to interact with both hydrophilic and hydrophobic environments. N-Hexanoyl-D-sphingomyelin is known for its role in membrane dynamics, influencing membrane fluidity and stability. It is also involved in various biological processes, including cell signaling and apoptosis. The compound is typically studied in the context of lipid bilayers and membrane models, providing insights into the behavior of sphingolipids in biological membranes. Its unique structure and properties make it a valuable subject of research in biochemistry and pharmacology, particularly in understanding lipid interactions and their implications in health and disease.
