C8-ceramide (74713-59-0) is a cell permeable ceramide analog. Stimulates ceramide-activated protein kinase.1 Induces apoptosis.2 Reported to inhibit apoptosis and gap junction intercellular communication (GJIC) in rat liver epithelial cells.3 C8-ceramide induces the secretion of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) from microglia in vitro.4
