psychosine

Psychosine (Galactosylsphingosine) is a PKC inhibitor, a substrate for the enzyme galactosylceramide cerebrosidase (GALC), and a potential biomarker of Krabbe's disease.Psychosine is highly cytotoxic and induces cell death in a variety of cells.

Psychosine-3'-sulfate ester is a bioactive chemical.

N-Acetylpsychosine, also known as α-galactosylated C2-ceramide (d18:1/2:0), exhibits immunostimulatory properties. This compound, N-Acetylpsychosine, holds potential as a valuable tool for studying the mechanisms of apoptosis and immune responses activated by dendritic cells (DCs).

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.
