General description
Galactocerebroside is the major galactosphingolipid of myelin. It is expressed in the CNS in cell membranes of oligodendrocytes. It is also expressed in Schwann cells in peripheral nerves.
This product is a pooled delipidized antiserum produced in rabbits by repeated injections of a mixture of galactocerebrosides I and II conjugated to keyhole limpet hemocyanin.
Specificity
The antibody localizes oligodendroglia in cultured cells. It may be used for studying changes in the organization of oligodendroglial membrane sheets in culture. Specificity of the product is determined by dot blotting using galactocerebroside as the antigen.
Immunogen
Galactocerebrosides (GalC) I and II conjugated to KLH
Application
Anti-Galactocerebroside antibody produced in rabbit has been used:
- for dot-blot immunoassay and western blot analysis of mouse brain homogenates
- as a primary antibody at a working dilution of 1:50 for immunostaining of muscle tissue of Rana pipiens frogs
- as a primary antibody at a working dilution of 1:500 in immunofluorescence and immunohistochemistry using primary human astroglia
Biochem/physiol Actions
Galactocerebroside is the major galactosphingolipid of myelin. It is expressed in the CNS in cell membranes of oligodendrocytes. It is also expressed in Schwann cells in peripheral nerves. Galactocerebroside is found in serum and cerebral spinal fluid of patients with demyelinating diseases like multiple sclerosis.
Galactocerebroside was shown to play an important role in the processes of normal development and myelination and is known to be an early marker of oligodendrocyte development.

Glial tumors may originate from the malignant transformation of multipotent glial progenitor cells, but tools to study malignant transformation leading to gliomas are limited by the lack of biological systems that represent early stages of this disease in adult animals.

Perisynaptic Schwann cells (PSCs) envelop axonal terminals and are physiologically distinct from the nearby myelinating Schwann cells (MSCs), which surround the same innervating motor axons. PSCs have special functions at the neuromuscular synapse, where they detect and can modulate neurotransmitter
