C24 Mono-Sulfo Galactosyl(ß) Ceramide (d18:1/24:0)
3-O-sulfo-D-galactosyl-ß1-1'-N-lignoceroyl-D-erythro-sphingosine (ammonium salt), (synthetic)
C24 mono-sulfo galactosyl(ß) ceramide (d18:1/24:0), also known as 3-O-sulfo-D-galactosyl-ß1-1'-N-lignoceroyl-D-erythro-sphingosine (Ammonium Salt), is a synthetic sulfated glycosphingolipid. With a molecular formula of C48H96N2O11S, it consists of a sphingosine backbone (d18:1), a lignoceroyl fatty acid (24:0), and a sulfated galactosyl head group.
Application
Sulfated galactosylceramides play a critical role in cellular processes in the nervous system. They are abundant in myelin, the insulating sheath around nerve fibers, contributing to membrane stability and function. These molecules are involved in cell-cell interactions, signal transduction, and the regulation of cell growth and differentiation.
C24 mono-sulfo galactosyl(ß) ceramide is essential for neurobiology research, helping with investigations into myelination, nerve function, and neurodegeneration. It aids in studying sulfated glycosphingolipids' impact on signal transduction pathways and their role in demyelinating diseases. Its specific functions make it vital for the nervous system, as it is implicated in neurodegenerative diseases and demyelinating disorders.
The synthetic version of C24 mono-sulfo galactosyl(ß) ceramide is a valuable tool for understanding the molecular mechanisms of myelination and demyelination and developing therapeutic strategies for conditions such as multiple sclerosis.
