C14 Galactosyl(ß) Ceramide (d18:1/14:0) 860785 D-galactosyl-ß-1,1’-N-myristoyl-D-erythro-sphingosine
Galactosyl ceramides are key components of myelin in the nervous system, where they insulate nerve fibers and support rapid signal transmission. In research, Galactosyl ceramides can help researchers understand demyelinating diseases by helping understand the myelin structure and function including cell pathways involved in neurodegeneration.
