Galactocerebroside (GalC) is a major galactosphingolipid of myelin which plays a role in myelination. GalC is a very useful, specific marker for oligodendroglial lineage.
Specificity
This antibody recognizes Galactocerebroside (GalC), sulfatide, psychosine and other galactolipids. Cross-reacts with the sulfatide ester of GalC, but to a 16-fold to a lesser extent. No cross-reactivity with sphingosine, ceramide, mixed ganglioside or glucocerebroside. Binds specifically with oligodendrocytes and Schwann cells.
Application
Detect Galactocerebroside using this Anti-Galactocerebroside Antibody, clone mGalC, Alexa Fluor™488 Conjugate validated for use in ICC.
Quality
Evaluated by Immunocytochemistry in rat oligodendrocyte cells.
Immunocytochemistry Analysis: A 1:100 dilution of this antibody detected Galactocerebroside in rat oligodendrocyte cells. Performed without Triton.
Physical form
Purified mouse monoclonal IgG3 conjugated to Alexa Fluor™ 488 in PBS with 0.1% sodium azide and 15 mg/mL BSA.
Analysis Note
Control Rat oligodendrocyte cells

Glioma stem-like cells (GSCs) are undifferentiated cells that are considered to be an origin of glioblastomas. Furthermore, they may contribute to treatment resistance and recurrence in glioblastomas. GSCs differentiate into differentiated glioma cells (non-glioma stem-like cells: non‑GSCs), and interconversion might

Human embryonic stem cells (hESC) and induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC) can differentiate into many cell types and are important for regenerative medicine; however, further work is needed to reliably differentiate hESC and hiPSC into neural-restricted multipotent derivatives or specialized
The origin of α-synuclein (α-syn)-positive glial cytoplasmic inclusions found in oligodendrocytes in multiple system atrophy (MSA) is enigmatic, given the fact that oligodendrocytes do not express α-syn mRNA. Recently, neuron-to-neuron transfer of α-syn was suggested to contribute to the pathogenesis
