glucocerebrosides

Glucocerebrosides (Gaucher cerebroside), a compound isolated from the fruit of Citrus unshiu, is a major component of the endomembrane system and plasma membrane of most eukaryotic cells and antagonizes insulin signaling.

Eliglustat hemitartrate (Genz-112638) , with an IC50 of 24 nM, is a specific, potent, oral active glucocerebral glycosidase inhibitor.

Glucocerebrosides is a natural product.

Steryl glucosides are neutral glycolipids commonly found in plant cell membranes and vegetable oils that contain a glucose moiety conjugated to a sterol lipid. They function as glucose donors in the biosynthesis of glucocerebrosides in plant microsomes and are metabolic precursors to acylated/esterified steryl glucosides. Steryl glucosides are the major component of filter- and engine-damaging precipitates formed during biodiesel production from transesterification of vegetable oils. This product contains a mixture of steryl glucosides.
