White Crystalline Solid | [Uses]
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 | [Biological Activity]
A potent modulator of cell proliferation and differentiation. Activates protein phosphatase-1 (PP1) and -2A (PP2A), as well as ceramide-activated protein phosphatase (CAPP) in vitro . | [Description]
C2 ceramide is a cell-permeable analog of naturally occurring ceramides. It mediates many diverse biological activities, as do natural ceramides. These processes include differentiation of HL-60 cells, induction of apoptosis, activation of protein phosphatase 2A, and inhibition of the mitochondrial respiratory chain. C2 ceramide also enhances the expression of COX-2 in human dermal fibroblasts and stimulates the growth of bovine aortic smooth muscle cells. The ability of C2 ceramide to destabilize membranes may be responsible for its inhibition of platelet aggregation. | [Definition]
ChEBI: N-acetylsphingosine is a N-acylsphingosine that has an acetamido group at position 2. | [Biochem/physiol Actions]
Cell-permeable, biologically active ceramide. It induces differentiation and apoptosis in cells and has been shown to activate protein phosphatases. | [storage]
