DL-threo-PPMP is a ceramide analog and an inhibitor of glucosylceramide synthase. It inhibits glucosylceramide synthase by 70, 41, and 62% in MDCK cell homogenates, mouse liver microsomes, and mouse brain homogenates, respectively, when used at a concentration of 20 µM. DL-threo-PPMP also inhibits sphingomyelin...

The test principle applied in this kit is Sandwich enzyme immunoassay. The microtiter plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to Human UGCG. Standards or samples are added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells then with a biotin-conjugated antibody specific to Human UGCG. Next,...

NB-DNJ is an iminosugar that inhibits UDP-glucose ceramide glucosyltransferase and beta-glucosidase 2 (IC50s = 32 and 81 µM, respectively, for the rat recombinant enzymes). It also increases the activity of wild-type acid beta-glucosidase, as well as the S364R, N370S, V15M, or M123T mutants, in COS-7 cells...

Eliglustat is an inhibitor of glucosylceramide synthase (IC50 = 40 nM for inhibition of glucosylceramide production in K562 cells). It is selective for glucosylceramide synthase over alpha-glucosidase I and II, alpha-1,6-glucosidase, lysosomal glucocerebrosidase, non-lysosomal glucosylceramidase, sucrase, and...

The lipid messenger ceramide is converted to glucosylceramide by glucosylceramide synthase (GCS). In the reverse direction, non-lysosomal glucosylceramidase (GCase), also known as beta-glucosidase 2 (BGD), cleaves the glucosyl moiety from glucosylceramide, liberating ceramide, which can be converted into...

Ibiglustat is an inhibitor of glucosylceramide (GlcCer) synthase. Dietary administration of ibiglustat (0.03% w/w) reduces globotriaosylceramide (Gb3) and lyso-Gb3 accumulation in a variety of tissues, including the kidney, heart, and brain, in the Gla-/- mouse model of Fabry disease. It reduces the latency to paw...

(+)-D-threo-PDMP is a ceramide analog and is one of the four possible stereoisomers of PDMP (Cay-62595). (+)-D-threo-PDMP is an inhibitor of glucosylceramide synthase. It inhibits glucosylceramide synthase by 50% when used at a concentration of 5 µM in an enzyme assay. (+)-D-threo-PDMP is the active component of...

Glucosylceramides are formed by the tethering of glucose to a ceramide by glucosylceramides synthase. They are present in neuronal and non-neuronal mammalian tissues and are found at low quantities in a large number of plant species, where they comprise 5-30% of total lipids in the plant plasma membrane, and in...

Genz-123346 is a glucosylceramide synthase inhibitor (IC50 = 14 nM). It reduces hepatic levels of glucosylceramide and triglycerides as well as blood levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), hemoglobin A1c, and non-fasting glucose in ob/ob mice when administered at a dose of 120 mg/kg per day. Genz-123346 (125...

Glycosphingolipids (GSLs) are a group of membrane components that contain lipid and sugar moieties. They are present in essentially all animal cells and are believed to have important roles in various cellular processes. UDP-glucose ceramide glucosyltransferase catalyzes the first glycosylation step in...
