Amino Acids (AA)

Stability Moisture Sensitive
Applications A biologically active, cell permeable, but nonphysiologic ceramide analog. It inhibits cell proliferation and induces monocytic differentiation of HL-60 cells and induces apoptosis. It stimulates protein phosphatase 2A and activates MAP Kinase2.
