General description
Glucosyl(β) Ceramide (β-GlcCer) is a naturally occurring glycolipid and an ubiquitous intracellular metabolite. It might be present in the endoplasmic reticulum or Golgi apparatus.
Application
C16 Glucosyl(β) Ceramide (d18:1/16:0) or D-glucosyl-β-1,1′-N-palmitoyl-D-erythro-sphingosine has been used as a stock solution for the in vitro treatment of bacteria and to study the role of sphingolipids on pulmonary Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections in cystic fibrosis (CF). It may be used in the quantification of lipid in green fluorescence protein (GFP) and fatty acid transport protein 4 (FATP4) cells using electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MS/MS).
Biochem/physiol Actions
Glucosyl(β) Ceramide (β-GlcCer) is an endogenous macrophage inducible C-type lectin (Mincle) ligand, which has immunostimulatory property. It also stimulates inflammatory and acquired immune responses on myeloid cells through Mincle. It is a potential biomarker in Gaucher′s disease. β-GlcCer regulates the function of natural killer T (NKT) lymphocytes and exhibits antimetastatic effects. A balanced level of intracellular β-GlcCer is essential for maintaining tissue homeostasis.
