Description

Nbd-Galactocerebroside CAS NO 93621-83-1 is a fluorescently labeled derivative of galactocerebroside, a key glycosphingolipid component of myelin in the central and peripheral nervous systems. This compound is specifically engineered for advanced research applications, offering a powerful tool for the visualization and study of lipid metabolism, membrane dynamics, and cellular trafficking. It is primarily utilized by researchers and scientists in the fields of neurobiology, biochemistry, and analytical chemistry for labeling, detection, and assay development.

Application

• Biomarker Research: Fluorescent labeling agent for studying galactocerebroside distribution and metabolism in neural tissues.
• Cell Biology Studies: Tracing and visualization tool for investigating lipid raft dynamics and membrane organization in live or fixed cells.
• Diagnostic Assay Development: Key reagent in the development of sensitive fluorescence-based assays for enzymatic activity or lipid detection.
• Pharmaceutical Screening: Used in high-throughput screening platforms to identify compounds that affect sphingolipid pathways or myelin synthesis.
• Analytical Standard: Serves as a certified reference material in HPLC, LC-MS, or other chromatographic methods for quantitative analysis.
• Neuroscience Research: Essential for models studying demyelinating diseases, such as multiple sclerosis, and for monitoring remyelination processes.
