Description

General description

Galactosyl ceramide is a complex glycosphingolipid, which is a major component of the myelin sheath. It consists of a single galactose residue linked to ceramide.

Application

C18(2R-OH) Galactosyl(β) Ceramide has been used as a standard to study unsaturated glycosphingolipids using the shotgun approach. It has also been used as a lipid standard for matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) analysis.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Galactosyl ceramide is essential for normal myelin function and stability.

Packaging
