C8 L-threo-Lactosyl(ß) Ceramide (d18:1/8:0) A86575 (Previously 860575) D-lactosyl-ß1-1'-N-octanoyl-L-threo-sphingosine
β-D-lactosyl-N-octanoyl-L-threo-sphingosine, (1) selectively inhibits caveolar endocytosis and SV40 virus infection, (2) blocks the clustering of lipids and proteins into GSLs and cholesterol-enriched microdomains (rafts) at the PM, and (3) inhibits β1-integrin activation and downstream signaling.
