C16 Galactosyl(ß) Ceramide (d18:1/16:0) A86521 (Previously 860521) D-galactosyl-ß-1,1' N-palmitoyl-D-erythro-sphingosine

C16 galactosyl(ß) ceramide (d18:1/16:0), also known as D-galactosyl-ß-1,1' N-palmitoyl-D-erythro-sphingosine, is a complex glycosphingolipid composed of a sphingosine backbone (d18:1) linked to a palmitoyl fatty acid (16:0) and a galactosyl sugar moiety. With a molecular formula of C40H77NO8, this molecule is a key component of cell membranes, particularly in the nervous system, where it plays a crucial role in the formation and maintenance of myelin sheaths.
