Alkyne sphinganine

Alkyne Sphinganine a metabolic labeling reagent that contains a terminal alkyne moiety that allows for the subsequent tagging of protein?lipid complexes by click chemistry. The terminal alkyne group can be used in a highly specific linking reaction with azide-containing reagents, known as ‘click chemistry’, in the presence of a copper (Cu) -containing catalyst allowing for the visualization and proteomic profiling of protein?sphingolipid complexes in living cells.
