Scientific Background | C2 Ceramide is a short-chain analog of natural ceramides, which are bioactive lipids involved in cell signaling. In neuroscience, C2 Ceramide is used to study mechanisms of apoptosis, differentiation, and stress responses in neurons. It serves as a tool to explore the role of sphingolipid metabolism in neurodegenerative diseases and neuronal development. |
