K6PC-5

• UNSPSC Description:

  K6PC-5, a ceramide derivative, is a sphingosine kinase 1(SPHK1) activator and elicites a rapid transient increase in intracellular calcium levels. K6PC-5 has the potential for skin diseases involving abnormal keratinocyte, and neurodegeneration and virus infection research[1][2][3].
