    Product Description

    C6 NBD galactosylceramide is a biologically active derivative of galactosylceramide that is tagged with a fluorescent C6 nitrobenzoxadiazole (C6 NBD; Item No. 18871) group.1 C6 NBD galactosylceramide has been used to study intracellular localization and metabolism of galactosylceramide, a sphingolipid whose synthesis is disrupted in Krabbe disease due to a deficiency of galactosylceramide β-galactosidase.1,2,3 As this product is derived from a natural source, there may be variations in the sphingoid backbone.
