General description
Glucosyl Ceramide (GlcCer)/cerebroside/galactosylceramide is a neutral, polar lipid. It can be ionized delicately in negative-and positive-ion modes. It is the simplest glycosphingolipids (GSLs), that is present abundantly in the mammalian tissues. GlcCer is produced through glycosylation of Cer with the help of GlcCer synthase (GCS) at the cytosolic leaflet of Golgi apparatus.
Application
C11 TopFluor™ Glucosyl Ceramide is suitable to use as a label in the GLM II model and as a component in the usual giant unilamellar vesicle (GUV) lipid mixture (GLM).
Biochem/physiol Actions
Glucosyl ceramide (GlcCer) plays a major role in the pathways of glycosphingolipid metabolism. It helps to modulate cell physiology. It acts as an intracellular messenger in cell maintenance and regulation.

Glucocerebrosidase is a lysosomal enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of glucosylceramide to form ceramide and glucose. A deficiency of lysosomal glucocerebrosidase due to genetic mutations results in Gaucher disease, in which glucosylceramide accumulates in the lysosomes of certain cell types.
