General description

Glucosyl sphingosine is a lyso derivative of glucosylceramide (GlcCer).

Application

Glucosyl(β) Sphingosine (d18:1) or D-glucosyl-β1-1′-D-erythro-sphingosine may be used:
  • to screen lipids that rapidly and reversibly alter transepithelial electrical resistance (TER) or tight junction (TJ) permeability in epithelial tissue
  • as a standard for the quantification of glucosyl sphingosine in Gaucher patients using liquid chromatography electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometric (LC/ESI-MS/MS)
  • as an internal standard for the quantification of lysoglucosylceramide in plasma for Gaucher disease using liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS)

Biochem/physiol Actions

Glucosyl sphingosine is a potential biomarker for Gaucher′s disease. It modulates Ca2+ release in the brain microsomes.

The biological diagnosis of sphingolipidoses currently relies on the measurement of specific enzymatic activities and/or genetic studies. Lysosphingolipids have recently emerged as potential biomarkers of sphingolipidoses and Niemann-Pick type C in plasma. We developed a sensitive and specific method enabling

Gaucher disease, caused by a deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme glucocerebrosidase, leads to prominent glucosylceramide accumulation in lysosomes of tissue macrophages (Gaucher cells). Here we show glucosylsphingosine, the deacylated form of glucosylceramide, to be markedly increased in plasma of symptomatic
