C16 Ceramide
C16 Ceramide (Palmitoyl Ceramide) is a bioactive sphingolipid that selectively binds to and activates the p53 tumor suppressor protein. This direct interaction makes it a valuable research tool for studying p53-mediated pathways in apoptosis, cell cycle arrest, and senescence in both cellular and animal models of cancer and aging.
