| Bioactivity | Lactosyl-C18-sphingosine (C18 Lactosyl(β) Ceramide; Lactosyl Sphingosine) is a bioactive sphingolipid that is a form of lactosylceramide but lacks the fatty acyl group. Lysolactosylceramide (1-50 μM) reduces the viability of human neutrophils in a concentration-dependent manner. Unlike lactosylceramide, Lactosyl-C18-sphingosine has no effect on protein synthesis and cell proliferation in cardiomyocytes. Lactosyl-C18-sphingosine is a lysoganglioside GM3. |
