  • Applications

    Cerebrosides (CAS 85116-74-1) are glycosphingolipids used mainly in lipid and membrane biology research to model membrane structure and serve as analytical reference standards; in pharmaceutical contexts they are regarded as a potential lipid component for drug delivery systems or liposome formulations; in cosmetics and personal care they may act as moisturizing and membrane-supporting lipid ingredients; in glycosphingolipid synthesis and cellular biology studies they can serve as starting materials or intermediates for producing more complex glycolipids; and they may be employed in lipidomics analyses and cell signaling research, depending on the source and local regulations.
