N-(Dodecanoyl)-sphing-4-enine-1-phosphocholine（Cat No.:E000027）, also known as C12-ceramide phosphocholine, is a synthetic analog of sphingomyelin, a key lipid found in cell membranes. It consists of a sphingosine backbone with a dodecanoyl (C12) fatty acid amide-linked at the nitrogen and a phosphocholine group at the 1-position. This compound plays a role in studies of lipid signaling, membrane structure, and apoptosis. Due to its defined acyl chain length and bioactive sphingolipid structure, it is often used in biochemical research to investigate ceramide-related pathways, lipid raft formation, and sphingomyelinase activity in cellular systems.
