    Product Description

    C6 NBD glucosylceramide (d18:1/6:0) is a biologically active derivative of glucosylceramide that is tagged with a fluorescent C-6 nitrobenzoxadiazole (C-6 NBD; Item No. 18871) group.1,2 C6 NBD glucosylceramide (d18:1/6:0) has been used to study the metabolism and internalization of glucosylceramide. As this product is derived from a natural source, there may be variations in the sphingoid backbone. [Matreya, LLC. Catalog No. 1622]
