Biochem/physiol Actions

Galactosyl ceramide is essential for normal myelin function and stability. It blocks epithelial cell-human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1) virion binding.

General description

Galactosyl ceramide is a complex glycosphingolipid. It is a major component of the myelin sheath and contains a single galactose residue linked to ceramide.Galactosyl ceramide is present mainly on the surface of colonic epithelial cells, vaginal epithelium and primary mammary epithelial cells.

Divalent cations mediate a carbohydrate-carbohydrate association between the two major glycolipids, galactosylceramide (GalCer) and its sulfated form, cerebroside sulfate (CBS), of the myelin sheath. We have suggested that interaction between these glycolipids on apposed extracellular surfaces of myelin may be

Mucosal epithelial cell surface galactosylceramide (Galcer) has been postulated to be a receptor for HIV-1 envelope (Env) interactions with mucosal epithelial cells. Disruption of the HIV-1 Env interaction with such alternate receptors could be one strategy to prevent HIV-1 entry
