Product Overview:
Lactosylceramide (LacCer) is an endogenous bioactive sphingolipid. It is expressed on the plasma membrane of human phagocytes and mediates phagocytosis, chemotaxis, and superoxide generation.{41044} LacCer forms membrane microdomains with Lyn kinase and the αi subunits of inhibitory G protein-coupled receptors, suggesting a role in cell signaling. Elevated LacCer levels in kidney cortex homogenates and urine are directly correlated with hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, and obesity in db/db transgenic diabetic mice.{41045} It promotes recruitment of CNS-infiltrating monocytes and microglia and enhances neurodegeneration in mice with chronic experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), a model of multiple sclerosis (MS).{27728} Increased levels of LacCer in atherosclerotic plaques are correlated with increased levels of the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-6, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), and macrophage inflammatory protein 1β (MIP-1β), as well as lipids and macrophages.{41046} LacCer is also upregulated during the secretory phase of the menstrual cycle.{41047} This product is a mixture of LacCers isolated from bovine buttermilk with variable N-acyl chain lengths.

Cayman Chemical's mission is to help make research possible by supplying scientists worldwide with the basic research tools necessary for advancing human and animal health. Our utmost commitment to healthcare researchers is to offer the highest quality products with an affordable pricing policy.

Our scientists are experts in the synthesis, purification, and characterization of biochemicals ranging from small drug-like heterocycles to complex biolipids, fatty acids, and many others. We are also highly skilled in all aspects of assay and antibody development, protein expression, crystallization, and structure determination.

Over the past thirty years, Cayman developed a deep knowledge base in lipid biochemistry, including research involving the arachidonic acid cascade, inositol phosphates, and cannabinoids. This knowledge enabled the production of reagents of exceptional quality for cancer, oxidative injury, epigenetics, neuroscience, inflammation, metabolism, and many additional lines of research.

Our organic and analytical chemists specialize in the rapid development of manufacturing processes and analytical methods to carry out clinical and commercial GMP-API production. Pre-clinical drug discovery efforts are currently underway in the areas of bone restoration and repair, muscular dystrophy, oncology, and inflammation. A separate group of Ph.D.-level scientists are dedicated to offering Hit-to-Lead Discovery and Profiling Services for epigenetic targets. Our knowledgeable chemists can be contracted to perform complete sample analysis for analytes measured by the majority of our assays. We also offer a wide range of analytical services using LC-MS/MS, HPLC, GC, and many other techniques.
