General description

C12-NBD Lactosyl ceramide is a fluorescent analog of biologically available compound lactosyl ceramide. Lactosyl ceramideis generally present on neutrophils and macrophages.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Lactosyl ceramide is the major precursor for synthesis of various glycosphingolipids like oligoglycosylceramides and gangliosides. It is an important signaling molecule that is involved in adhesion, migration, cell proliferation and angiogenesis. Lactosyl ceramide is vital for osteoclastogenesis mediated by macrophage-colony stimulating factor.

Glycosphingolipids and their metabolites play important roles in a variety of biological processes. Several signal molecules are localized in a glycolipid-enriched microdomain on the cell surface, and their signals are regulated by the glycolipid composition. However, the function of glycolipids

Glycosphingolipids (GSLs), cell type-specific markers which change dramatically during ontogenesis and oncogenesis, have been implicated as playing major roles in cellular interactions and control of cell proliferation in multicellular organisms. These functional roles have been partially clarified through two types

Lectins are responsible for cell surface sugar recognition in bacteria, animals, and plants. Examples include bacterial toxins; animal receptors that mediate cell-cell interactions, uptake of glycoconjugates, and pathogen neutralization; and plant toxins and mitogens. The structural basis for selective sugar

Although lactosylceramide (LacCer) plays a pivotal role in the biosynthesis of nearly all the major glycosphingolipids, its function in regulating cellular function has begun to emerge only recently. Our current opinion is that several physiologically critical molecules such as modified/oxidized

Carbohydrate-carbohydrate interactions are rarely considered in biologically relevant situations such as cell recognition and adhesion. One Ca(2+)-mediated homotypic interaction between two Lewis(x) determinants (Le(x)) has been proposed to drive cell adhesion in murine embryogenesis. Here, we confirm the existence of
