Glucocerebrosides are formed by the tethering of glucose to a ceramide by glucosylceramide synthase.{41133} They are present in neuronal and non-neuronal mammalian tissues and are found at low quantities in a large number of plant species, where they comprise 5-30% of total lipids in the plant plasma membrane, and in fungi.{41133,41134,59454} Glucocerebroside levels decrease during cold acclimatization in plants and glucocerebrosides in fungi are involved in the regulation of virulence and act as elicitors in plants, stimulating plant defense mechanisms.{59454,59455} Glucocerebrosides are precursors in the synthesis of lactosylceramides and gangliosides. Increased levels of glucocerebrosides are associated with obesity-induced insulin resistance in mice and with neuronal deficits observed in neuronopathic Gaucher disease.{41133,41135} This product is a mixture of glucocerebrosides, with variable ceramide chain lengths, isolated from soy.

    PtdIns-(3,4,5)-P3-biotin (sodium salt) – 100 µg

    The PtdIn phosphates play an important role in the generation and transduction of intracellular signals.{8344,4096,14518} PtdIns-(3,4,5)-P3-biotin is an affinity probe which allows the PIP3 to be detected through an interaction with the biotin ligand. This design allows PtdIns-(3,4,5)-P3-biotin to serve as a general probe for any protein with a high affinity binding interaction with inositol-(3,4,5)-triphosphate phospholipids, such as phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, PTEN, or PH-domain-containing proteins.
