1-β-D-Glucosylsphingosine is a glucosylsphingosine, which are deacetylated lysolipid derivatives of glucocerebrosides. They are formed when sphingosines undergo glucosidation by UDP-glucose. Glucosylsphingosines completely reduce neurite outgrowth and induce death of LA-N-2 cells when used at concentrations of 10 and 50 μM, respectively. They also decrease the activity of glucocerebrosidase in LA-N-2 cells in a concentration-dependent manner. Glucosylsphingosine levels are elevated in patients with Gaucher's disease, both in the spleen and brain, thus, glucosylsphingosine has been used as a key biomarker of the disease. This product contains 1-β-D-glucosylsphingosine (d18:1) isolated from bovine buttermilk.
