Ceramide is a bioactive lipid with significant roles in several biological processes including cell proliferation, apoptosis, and raft formation. Although fluorescent derivatives of ceramide are required to probe the behavior of ceramide in cells and cellmembranes, commercial fluorescent ceramide derivatives do not reproduce the membranebehavior of native ceramide because of the introduction of bulky
