C6 L-threo Ceramide (d18:1/6:0)

C6 L-threo Ceramide is a bioactive sphingolipid and cell-permeable analog of naturally occurring ceramides., C6 L-threo Ceramide is cytotoxic to U937 cells in vitro (IC50 = 18 µM). It is metabolically inactive and, unlike C6 L-erythro ceramide (Cay-24388), C6 L-threo ceramide cannot be converted to C6 glucosylceramide by ceramide glucosyltransferase. C6 L-threo Ceramide enhances IL-4 production induced by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA, Cay-10008014) in EL4 T cells when used at a concentration of 10 µM. [Matreya, LLC.
