Bioactivity | C12 NBD sphingomyelin is an active derivative of sphingomyelin (HY-113498) that is tagged with fluorescent C12 nitrobenzoxadiazole (C12 NBD). C12 NBD sphingomyelin can be used as a sphingomyelinase substrate for studying the metabolism and transport of sphingomyelins (Ex=470 nm, Em=525 nm)[1]. |
Target | Sphingomyelinase |
Invitro | Guidelines (Following is our recommended protocol. This protocol only provides a guideline, and should be modified according to your specific needs)[1].Assay for Sphingolipid-Degrading Enzymes (EGCase Ⅱ, SCDase and SMase): 1. Incubate amounts of enzymes with 0.1 nM dye at 37 ℃ for indicated times under following conditions.(1). 10 mM sodium acetate buffer (pH5.0) containing 0.2% Triton X-100 for EGCase.(2) 25 mM sodium phosphate buffer (pH 6.0) containing 0.1% Triton X-100 for SCDase.(3) 25 mM sodium phosphate buffer (pH 7.0) containing 0.2% Triton X-100 for SMase.2. After incubation, the solvent is evaporated and the residue is dried, dissolved in 10 μL of chloroform/methanol (2:1) and analyzed by TLC using chloroform/methanol/0.02% CaCl2 (5:4:1, v/v) as the developing solvent. 3. Degradation products and remaining substrates are separated by TLC and quantified with a chromatoscanner (excitation 470 nm, emission 525 nm) for fluorescence-labeled substrates. |
