Application

Galactosyl(β) Sphingosine-d5 has been used as an internal standard for the quantification of galactosylsphingosine, in the extracts from the mouse cerebellum by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Galactosylsphingosine, also known as psychosine, has an ability to induce apoptosis in various types of cells including oligodendrocytes. It is a toxic metabolite. Accumulation of this cytotoxic sphingolipid in the brain due to the deficiency of galactocerebrosidase (GALC) leads to the development of Krabbe disease.

Globoid cell leukodystrophy (GLD) is a neurological disease caused by deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme galactosylceramidase (GALC). In the absence of GALC, the cytotoxic glycosphingolipid, psychosine (psy), accumulates in the nervous system. Psychosine accumulation preferentially affects oligodendrocytes, leading to progressive

Gaucher disease is caused by a deficiency in glucocerebrosidase that can result in non-neuronal as well as neuronal symptoms. Common visceral symptoms are an increased organ size, specifically of the spleen, and glucosylceramide as well as glucosylsphingosine substrate accumulations as

Globoid cell leukodystrophy (Krabbe disease) is a rare infantile neurodegenerative disorder. Krabbe disease is caused by deficiency in the lysosomal enzyme galactocerebrosidase (GALC) resulting in accumulation, in the micromolar range, of the toxic metabolite galactosylsphingosine (psychosine) in the brain.
