C18 Globotriaosylceramide (d18:1/18:0)

Description:
C18 Globotriaosylceramide (d18:1/18:0), also known by its CAS number 69283-33-6, is a type of glycosphingolipid characterized by its structure, which includes a sphingosine backbone with a long-chain fatty acid and a carbohydrate moiety. Specifically, it features a d18:1 sphingosine base, indicating a long-chain unsaturated fatty acid, and an 18-carbon saturated fatty acid attached to the ceramide portion. This compound is significant in cellular processes, particularly in cell recognition and signaling, and is found in various biological membranes. Globotriaosylceramide is involved in the formation of lipid rafts and plays a role in the immune response. Its presence is particularly noted in certain tissues, including the brain and kidneys. Abnormal accumulation of this glycosphingolipid is associated with specific lysosomal storage disorders, highlighting its importance in human health. The study of C18 Globotriaosylceramide contributes to our understanding of lipid metabolism and its implications in disease.
