Product Description: C6 NBD galactosylceramide is an active derivative of galactosylceramide that is tagged with fluorescent C6 nitrobenzoxadiazole (C6 NBD). C6 NBD galactosylceramide can be used as a substrate for neutral β-glycosylceramidase (GCase) to study intracellular localization and metabolism of galactosylceramide (Ex=nm, Em=525)[1].
Formula: C36H59N5O11
