C2 Ceramide (d14:1/2:0) is widely used in biomedical research to study cellular processes, particularly apoptosis (programmed cell death). It serves as a tool to investigate the role of ceramides in signaling pathways that regulate cell growth, differentiation, and death. Researchers often use it to mimic the effects of endogenous ceramides in experimental models, helping to understand its impact on cancer cells, as ceramides are known to induce apoptosis in tumor cells. Additionally, it is employed in studies related to skin biology, as ceramides play a critical role in maintaining the skin barrier function. Its application extends to exploring metabolic disorders and neurodegenerative diseases, where ceramide signaling is implicated.
