Regulation of Galactosylceramide Biosynthesis

An important branchpoint of mammalian sphingolipid metabolism occurs at the step where ceramides are glycosylated to glucosylceramide (GlcCer) versus galactosylceramide (GalCer), which are precursors of all mammalian glycosphingolipids. Relatively few studies have focused on this branchpoint becaus...
