C16 Lactosyl(ß) Ceramide (d18:1/16:0) is a glycosphingolipid composed of a sphingosine backbone, a lactosyl sugar moiety, and a palmitoyl fatty acid chain. It is essential for cell membranes, playing a key role in cell signaling, including differentiation, proliferation, and apoptosis. Found mainly in the outer leaflet of the plasma membrane, Lactosylceramide contributes to the formation of lipid rafts, specialized microdomains involved in various cellular processes.
