General description

Lactosyl-ceramide is synthesized from complex glycosphingolipids by glucosylceramide synthase via caremide intermediate glucosylceramide.

Application

C8 Lactosyl(β) Ceramide (d18:1/8:0) is suitable for use as a substrate for endoglycoceramidase II. It is also suitable for use as a synthetic lipid standard for two-dimensional liquid chromatography−quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry for lipid profiling and lipidomic analysis.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Lactosyl-β1-1′-N-octanoyl-D-erythro-sphingosine like other glycosphingolipids, stimulates caveolar endocytosis. C8-LacCer mediates clustering of β1-integrins and actin cytoskeleton reorganization in skin fibroblasts. High levels of lactosyl ceramide leads to decreased respiration leading to mitochondrial dysfunction.
