Metabolite Identification
Common NameGalactosylsphingosine
DescriptionGalactosylsphingosine, also known as beta-psychosine or sphingosine galactoside, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as glycosphingolipids. These are sphingolipids containing a saccharide moiety glycosidically attached to the sphingoid base. Although saccharide moieties are mostly O-glycosidically linked to the ceramide moiety, other sphingolipids with glycosidic bonds of other types (e.g. S-,C-, or N-type) has been reported. Thus, galactosylsphingosine is considered to be a basic glycosphingolipid. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Galactosylsphingosine.
