13c-6 glucosylsphingosine (d18:1)

13C6 Glucosylsphingosine (d18:1) is an isotopically enriched form of 1-β-D-glucosylsphingosine (d18:1) that is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of 1-β-D-glucosylsphingosine by GC- or LC-MS. 1-β-D-Glucosylsphingosine is a lysolipid derivative of glucosylcerebroside that decreases activity of glucocerebrosidase in LA-N-2 cells in a dose-dependent manner.

Glucosylsphingosine (Lyso-Gb1) is a naturally occurring glycosyl ceramide, a metabolite of GBA (acid β-glucosidase), involved in cellular recognition, signaling, and intercellular interactions.Glucopsychosine accumulates in certain neurodegenerative diseases (e.g., Gaucher disease), disrupts lysosomal function through activation of mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1), and is a noncompetitive inhibitor of glucocerebrosidase.
