C22-Ceramide (d18:1/22:0)
Based on 1 Customer Validation
C22-Ceramide (d18:1/22:0) (N-Behenoyl-D-erythro-sphingosine) is an ultra-long-chain ceramide containing a C22:0 behenoyl acyl chain. C22-Ceramide can be glycosylated via CGT-3 to form C22 glucosylceramide (C22 GlcCer), which in turn maintains clathrin membrane localization and lysosomal homeostasis, inhibits TOR signaling and promotes SKN-1 activation, thereby enhancing oxidative stress resistance and extending the lifespan of C. elegans. C22-Ceramide can be used in research on cardiometabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, obesity, dyslipidemia, coronary artery disease and thin-cap fibroatheroma (TCFA), as well as oxidative stress and aging-related studies.
