C2 Adamantanyl globotriaosylceramide (AdaGb3) is a bioactive sphingolipid and water-soluble form of globotriaosylceramide (Item Nos. 24870 | 24871 | 24872) that contains an adamantanyl group in place of the fatty acyl chain.1 It inhibits Vero toxin binding to globotriaosylceramide in an ELISA assay when used at a concentration of 10 μM. AdaGb3 decreases cell surface expression of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and reduces efflux of rhodamine 123 (Item No. 16672) in MDCK cells.2 It also increases apical-to-basal transport of vinblastine (Item No. 11762) in human intestinal C2BBe1 cells.
