Application
Psychosine has been used as a lipid in lipid-protein overlay binding assay.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Psychosine is a neurotoxic lysosphingolipid and a glycolipid precursor for the synthesis of cerebrosides. It is synthesized from galactosylceramide, phrenosin. Elevated psychosine levels are implicated in Krabbe disease. It mediates demyelination and consequently oligodendrocytes degeneration. Psychosine is also correlated to neurological disease, Globoid cell leukodystrophy (GLD), where in galactosylceramidase (GALC) enzyme deficiency leads to its accumulation.
