N-Stearoylsphingosine
N-Stearoylsphingosine (Cer (d18:1/18:0) ) is a bioactive sphingolipid that activates protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) by disrupting its interaction with inhibitor 2, resulting in Akt dephosphorylation. This compound is utilized as a research tool in prostate cancer studies, with applications in both in vitro and in vivo experimental models to investigate PP2A-mediated signaling pathways.
