Cer (d18:1/23:0) can be used in studies related to coronary heart disease, prediabetes and type 2 diabetes.

C26-Dihydro ceramide is a dihydroceramide containing a C26 very-long-chain fatty acid. C26-Dihydro ceramide can be used for research on various neurological disorders including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, depression, and anxiety disorders.

(E/Z)-C2 Ceramide is a ceramide.

C20 Ceramide (d18:1/20:0) (N-Arachidoyl-D-sphingosine) is a natural 20:0 ceramide and a N-acylsphingosine in which the ceramide N-acyl group is specified as eicosanoyl. C20 Ceramide (d18:1/20:0) acts as a key signal molecule mediating biological processes.

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.

C24:1-Ceramide is one of the most abundant naturally occurring ceramide. Ceramides regulates many diverse biological activities, such as cell apoptosis, cell differentiation, proliferation of smooth muscle cells, and inhibition of the mitochondrial respiratory chain.

C18:1-Ceramide is a ceramide subspecies. C18:1-Ceramide can be used in the study of type 2 diabetes

C24-Ceramide (d18:1/24:0) is a sphingolipid that can be used for the lipid membranes composed. C24-Ceramide (d18:1/24:0) induces time-dependent changes in membrane properties. C24-Ceramide (d18:1/24:0) induces membrane reorganization.

GlcCer (d18:1/18:0) (C18 Glucosyl(β) ceramide (d18:1/18:0)) is a glycosphingolipids that activates the Wnt/β-catenin pathway by targeting LRP6. GlcCer (d18:1/18:0) drives EMT, migration, invasion and GBA1-mediated liver cancer metastasis. GlcCer (d18:1/18:0) accumulates to impair lysosomal function and induce toxic α-synuclein aggregation. GlcCer (d18:1/18:0) supports growth, sporulation, germination and virulence in Penicillium digitatum. GlcCer (d18:1/18:0) is reduced in demyelinated mouse corpus callosum. GlcCer (d18:1/18:0) can be used for the research of liver cancer, synucleinopathies, fungal, Parkinson’s disease and Gaucher disease.

Ceramide 3 (N-Stearoyl phytosphingosine) is an orally active major component of intercellular lipids in the stratum corneum of the skin, and belongs to the ceramide family. Ceramide 3 inhibits c-jun and NF-κB activation induced by Histamine (HY-B1204), and suppresses the expression of IL-4 and TNF-α. Ceramide 3 inhibits scratching behavior and vascular permeability in mice, and exhibits antihistamine effects in guinea pig ileum. Ceramide 3 improves skin barrier function, reduces transepidermal water loss, erythema and the number of circulating epidermal cells, and accelerates barrier repair of irritated or dysfunctional skin.

C12-Ceramide (N-Lauroyl-D-erythro-sphingosine), a naturally occurring ceramide, is formed by hydrolysis of C12 sphingomyelin. C12-Ceramide can enhance the Doxorubicin toxicity in MDA-MB-231 cells. C12-Ceramide also can be used to diagnose types A and B Niemann-Pick disease.

C26 Ceramide is a lipid featuring two hydrophobic tails, one saturated and the other unsaturated. Ceramides may be used in developing lipid nanoparticles or liposomes.

C-8 Ceramide-1-phosphate is a cell apoptosis inhibitor and a cell survival inducer that can stimulate DNA synthesis and cell division. C-8 Ceramide-1-phosphate can inhibit acidic sphingomyelinase (SMase) and stimulate PI3-K, which in turn produces PIP3; PIP3 can also inhibit acidic SMase. The C-8 Ceramide-1-phosphate and ceramide can be interconverted in cells through kinase and phosphatase activity, and maintaining the balance between the two is crucial for cellular and tissue homeostasis.

C8-Ceramide (N-Octanoyl-D-erythro-sphingosine) is a cell-permeable analog of naturally occurring ceramides. C8-Ceramide has anti-proliferation properties and acts as a potent chemotherapeutic agent. C8-Ceramide stimulates dendritic cells to promote T cell responses upon virus infections. C8-Ceramide induces slight activation of protein kinase (PKC) in vitro.
