6-nbdg

6-NBDG, a fluorescent glucose analogue, can be used as a fluorescent probe.6-NBDG can be used for monitoring glucose transport and uptake. 6-NBDG can be used as for detecting macrophage-rich atherosclerotic plaques.

C6 NBD Glucosylceramide, a fluorescent derivative of glucosylceramide (Ex=466 nm, Em=535 nm), is utilized to investigate glucosylceramide metabolism and internalization, as well as to assess glucosylceramide synthase activity [1] [2] [3].

C6 NBD galactosylceramide, an active derivative of galactosylceramide tagged with fluorescent nitrobenzoxadiazole (NBD), serves as a substrate for neutral β-glycosylceramidase (GCase) in studies of intracellular localization and metabolism of galactosylceramide (Ex=nm, Em=525) [1].
