C12-Ceramide
C12-Ceramide (d18:1/12:0) is a sphingolipid found elevated in pre-eclampsia-associated umbilical cord vessels. This research-grade compound serves as a substrate for measuring acid sphingomyelinase (ASM) activity in plasma, a key diagnostic assay for Niemann-Pick disease types A and B, and is utilized in lipid metabolism studies in vitro.
