General description

Galactosyl ceramide is a complex glycosphingolipid, which is a major component of the myelin sheath. It consists of a single galactose residue linked to ceramide.

Application

C8 Galactosyl(β) Ceramide (d18:1/8:0) may be suitable for the preparation of liposomes.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Galactosyl ceramide is necessary for normal myelin function and stability.
