C2-Dihydroceramide
C2 Dihydroceramide (d18:0/2:0) is a synthetic short-chain sphingolipid precursor used in research to study ceramide biosynthesis. It is a known inducer of ABCA1-dependent cholesterol efflux, making it a valuable tool for investigating lipid metabolism and atherosclerosis-related pathways in cellular models.
