CAS: 474943-96-9

C2 Ceramide (d17:1/2:0) is a synthetic bioactive ceramide molecule utilized extensively in biochemical research. It is synthesized from sphingosine and is structurally characterized as N-acetyl-D-erythro-dihydro-sphingosine. Ceramides are a family of lipid molecules and this specific variant acts as a precursor in the biosynthesis of more complex sphingolipids. Its mode of action primarily involves modulation of cell signaling pathways, where it functions as a second messenger in various apoptosis-related processes.
