Background:

C6 NBD sphingomyelin is a biologically active derivative of sphingomyelin that is tagged with a fluorescent C6 nitrobenzoxadiazole group. C6 NBD sphingomyelin has been used to study the metabolism and transport of sphingomyelins. It is degraded in the plasma membrane to C6 NBD ceramide by neutral sphingomyelinase, an enzyme with three-fold higher activity in undifferentiated HT29 cells than in differentiated cells. Unlike endogenous long-chain sphingomyelin and C6 sphingomyelin, C6 NBD sphingomyelin can be transported to the cell surface even in the presence of the vesicular transport inhibitor brefeldin A , but this transport can be blocked by multidrug resistance protein inhibitors in CHO cells. This product is a mixture of the D-erythro and L-threo isomers of sphingomyelin.
