K6PC-5

Description: K6PC-5 is a ceramide derivative that acts as an activator of sphingosine kinase 1 (SPHK1), inducing a swift and temporary rise in intracellular calcium levels. With its potential applications in skin diseases associated with abnormal keratinocyte function, as well as in studies on neurodegeneration and virus infection, K6PC-5 presents a promising compound for research purposes. Target: S1P Receptor. Smiles: CCCCCCCC(=O)C(CCCCCC)C(=O)NC(CO)CO. References: Kwon YB, et al.
