The red-fluorescent BODIPY TR C₅ ceramide complexed to BSA can be used in sphingolipid transport and metabolism mechanisms. Complexing fluorescent lipids with bovine serum albuin (BSA) facilitates cell labeling by eliminating the need for organic solvents to dissolve the lipophilic probe - the BSA-complexed probe can be directly dissolved in water.
