C24-Ceramide
Based on 1 Customer Validation
C24-Ceramide is an orally active competitive binding agonist of PIP4K2C (mTOR complex regulator), thereby activating the mTOR signaling pathway. At the same time, C24-Ceramide changes the membrane morphology by inducing the formation of a partially interlocked gel phase in the phospholipid bilayer. C24-Ceramide can promote the proliferation and migration of keratinocytes to accelerate skin wound healing and drive the proliferation and metastasis of gallbladder cancer cells. The level of C24-Ceramide in serum can be used as a diagnostic marker for gallbladder cancer.

C24-Ceramide (100 μg/mL; 48 h) significantly promotes cell proliferation and migration in human keratinocytes (HaCaT)[2].
C24-Ceramide (500 μg/mL; 24 h) activates AKT and ERK1/2 signaling pathways[2].
C24-Ceramide (100 nM; 12 h) promotes cell proliferation and migration in gallbladder cancer cells (GBC-SD, NOZ) by binding to PIP4K2C and activating mTOR signaling, while C6-Ceramide competitively inhibited this effect[3].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
C24-Ceramide (10 mg/kg; dietary supplementation; once daily; 3 weeks) promotes the growth of gallbladder cancer (GBC-SD cells) in a nude mouse subcutaneous xenograft tumor model, as evidenced by increased tumor volume, weight, and the proportion of Ki-67 positive cells[3].

Animal Model:Male HR-1 hairless mice (6-week-old, 18-20 g), full-thickness skin wound model[2]
-
Dosage:4.4 μg C24-Ceramide per dose (formulated as C24-LNP in deionized water)
-
Administration:Topical application (10 μL of 1 mg/mL C24-LNP) daily for 10 days
-
Result:Significantly accelerated wound closure.
Enhanced re-epithelialization, increased fibroblast proliferation, and improved collagen deposition in the dermis, as confirmed by Masson’s trichrome staining.
Activated AKT and ERK1/2 signaling pathways in wound tissues, promoting cell proliferation and migration.
-
Animal Model:Nude mice subcutaneous xenograft model with GBC-SD cells[3]
-
Dosage:10 mg/kg
-
Administration:Daily oral administration via dietary addition for 3 consecutive weeks
-
Result:Significantly increased tumor size and Ki-67 reactivity in xenograft sections, indicating enhanced cell proliferation.
Promoted hepatic metastasis, with higher incidence and size of metastatic lesions compared to control.
Activated mTOR signaling through binding to PIP4K2C, which was antagonized by C6-Ceramide co-treatment.
