D-lactosyl-ß1-1'-D-erythro-sphingosine
Lactosyl(ß) Sphingosine (d18:1), also known as Lactosylceramide or D-lactosyl-ß1-1'-D-erythro-sphingosine, is a glycosphingolipid composed of a sphingosine base (d18:1) linked to a lactosyl group, which is a disaccharide made up of glucose and galactose. With a molecular formula of C30H57NO12, this compound is a crucial intermediate in glycosphingolipid metabolism, serving as a precursor to more complex glycosphingolipids, such as gangliosides.
Lactosyl sphingosine is a glycosylsphingosine (Lyso-GSL) present in extracts of bovine brain white matter.
Application
Lactosyl(ß) Sphingosine plays a vital role in maintaining cell membrane structure, contributing to the stability and function of lipid bilayers. It is involved in various cellular processes, including cell adhesion, signaling, and differentiation. This molecule is essential in both normal physiological functions and the pathogenesis of certain diseases, including neurodegenerative disorders and cancer.
In research, Lactosylceramide is particularly valuable for studying the role of glycosphingolipids in cellular mechanisms. These include the regulation of apoptosis, immune responses, and the maintenance of cellular homeostasis. Given its central role in the glycosphingolipid biosynthetic pathway, Lactosyl(ß) Sphingosine is frequently utilized in studies exploring metabolic pathways and potential therapeutic targets for various diseases.
