α-Galactosylceramide (Standard)
α-Galactosylceramide (Standard) is the analytical standard of α-Galactosylceramide (HY-102022). This product is intended for research and analytical applications. α-Galactosylceramide (α-GalCer) is a synthetic glycolipid with antitumorial and immunostimulatory. α-Galactosylceramide is a very potent NKT cell agonist and binds effectively to CD1d. The complex of α-Galactosylceramide plus CD1d binds the NKT cell TCR (T cell antigen receptor).
