General description
Glucosyl(β) Ceramide (β-GlcCer) is a naturally occurring glycolipid and an ubiquitous intracellular metabolite. It might be present in the endoplasmic reticulum or Golgi apparatus.
Application
C16 Glucosyl(β) Ceramide (d18:1/16:0) or D-glucosyl-β-1,1′-N-palmitoyl-D-erythro-sphingosine has been used as a stock solution for the in vitro treatment of bacteria and to study the role of sphingolipids on pulmonary Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections in cystic fibrosis (CF). It may be used in the quantification of lipid in green fluorescence protein (GFP) and fatty acid transport protein 4 (FATP4) cells using electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MS/MS).
Biochem/physiol Actions
Glucosyl(β) Ceramide (β-GlcCer) is an endogenous macrophage inducible C-type lectin (Mincle) ligand, which has immunostimulatory property. It also stimulates inflammatory and acquired immune responses on myeloid cells through Mincle. It is a potential biomarker in Gaucher′s disease. β-GlcCer regulates the function of natural killer T (NKT) lymphocytes and exhibits antimetastatic effects. A balanced level of intracellular β-GlcCer is essential for maintaining tissue homeostasis.

Natural killer (NK) T cells are well known to play important roles in both tumor rejection and the defense against infectious. Therefore, the antitumor potential of NKT cell-activating antigens have been the focus for the development of NKT cell-based immunotherapies.

beta-Glucosylceramide, a naturally occurring glycolipid, exerts modulatory effects on natural killer T (NKT) lymphocytes. To determine whether beta-glucosylceramide can alter NKT function in opposite directions, colitis was induced by intracolonic installation of trinitrobenzenesulphonic acid, and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) was induced

Gaucher disease is a lysosomal storage disorder caused by a defect in the degradation of glucosylceramide catalyzed by the lysosomal enzyme β-glucocerebrosidase (GBA). GBA reaches lysosomes via association with its receptor, lysosomal integral membrane protein type 2 (LIMP-2). We found
