General description

Lactosylceramide (LacCer) is a glycosphingolipid. It consists of a hydrophobic ceramide lipid and a hydrophilic sugar moiety. LacCer is expressed abundantly in the nervous system and myelin sheath.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Lactosylceramide (LacCer) is a structural and signaling lipid. It is implicated in signal transduction, cell adhesion and host-tissue pathogen interactions. LacCer modulates cell proliferation and apoptosis. It is involved in regulating cellular stress response and microbial pathogenesis. LacCer regulates innate immune responses. It helps in microbial attachment and also acts as an adhesion receptor for pathogens.

Galactosylceramide (GalCer) and lactosylceramide (LacCer) are structural and signaling lipids, playing important roles in signal transduction and cell adhesion. They are especially abundant in the nervous system and in important components of the myelin sheath. Although neurodegenerative disorders are associated
