C6 NBD Glucosylceramide（Cat No.:I042981）is a fluorescently labeled analog of glucosylceramide, where a 6-carbon chain (C6) is attached to a glucosyl group and an NBD (4-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole) fluorophore. This compound is used to study glucosylceramide metabolism, trafficking, and its role in cellular processes, such as lipid signaling, membrane dynamics, and glycosphingolipid metabolism. The NBD group allows for sensitive detection through fluorescence microscopy or flow cytometry, enabling researchers to monitor the cellular uptake, distribution, and turnover of glucosylceramide. It is valuable in lipidomics and the study of various lipid-related diseases.
