Product Overview
Description:
GalCer is the foundational neutral glycosphingolipid of the mammalian central nervous system, enriched with specific C24:1 and alpha-hydroxylated C18:0 and C24:0 fatty acyl combinations. Essential for orchestrating surface-level glycosynapse signaling, immune cell stimulation, and cellular development, these core myelin lipids serve as critical pathological indices due to their massive lysosomal accumulation during genetic galactosylcerbrosidase deficiencies.
