Protein phosphatase and CAPP modulator
Featured Products
Ceramide (CAS 3102-57-6) is a bioactive lipid molecule known to modulate diverse cellular processes, including proliferation and differentiation. It exerts its effects primarily by activating several serine/threonine protein phosphatases, notably protein phosphatase-1 (PP1), protein phosphatase-2A (PP2A), and ceramide-activated protein phosphatase (CAPP) in vitro. Due to its regulatory role in fundamental signaling pathways, ceramide serves as a valuable research tool in investigations addressing cell cycle progression, apoptosis, and cellular homeostasis.
