Notes: Galactosylceramides are glycosphingolipids that contain galactose attached to a ceramide containing an N-acyl hydroxy or non-hydroxy fatty acid. They are metabolic precursors to sulfatide (Item No. 24323), found primarily in nerve tissues, and are the main glycosphingolipids in the central nervous system.{39499,39500} Galactosylceramides are involved in a multitude of cellular processes including cell agglutination, cellular signaling in glycosynapses, cellular development, and activation of T cells.{39499,39500,39501} They accumulate in globoid cells in the brain of patients with Krabbe disease, a disorder characterized by a deficiency in galactosylcerebrosidase activity.{39500} This product contains non-hydroxy galactosylceramides with primarily C24:0 and C24:1 fatty acyl chain lengths. As this product is derived from a natural source, there may be variations in the sphingoid backbone. [Matreya, LLC. Catalog No. 1066]
