N-omega-CD3-Octadecanoyl-ceramide trihexoside is a deuterated analog of ceramide trihexoside, where the terminal omega position of the octadecanoyl chain is labeled with deuterium (CD3). This isotopically labeled compound is used in biochemical and lipidomics research to study the metabolism, function, and biological roles of ceramides and glycosphingolipids. The deuterium labeling allows for precise tracking in mass spectrometry, facilitating the investigation of lipid metabolism and signaling pathways in various biological systems. N-omega-CD3-Octadecanoyl-ceramide trihexoside is particularly valuable for researchers studying the involvement of glycosphingolipids in diseases such as Gaucher’s disease, Fabry disease, and other lysosomal storage disorders, providing enhanced accuracy and reliable data for therapeutic development and biochemical studies.
