Lactosylceramide is synthesized in the lumen of the Golgi apparatus
Recently, synthesis of lactosylceramide has been described to occur on the cytosolic face of the Golgi [(1991) J. Biol. Chem. 266, 20907‐20912]. The reactions following in the biosynthesis of higher glycosphingolipids are known to take place in the lumen of the Golgi.

Glycosphingolipids from the ganglio-series are usually classified in four series according to the presence of 0 to 3 sialic acid residues linked to lactosylceramide.

Neuromuscular synaptic function in mice lacking major subsets of gangliosides [PDF]
Gangliosides are a family of sialylated glycosphingolipids enriched in the outer leaflet of neuronal membranes, in particular at synapses. Therefore, they have been hypothesized to play a functional role in synaptic transmission.

Biosynthesis of Lactosylceramide and Triglycosylceramide by Galactosyltransferases from Rat Spleen
Abstract The transfer of galactose from labeled uridine diphosphogalactose to glucosylceramide and to galactosyl-glucosylceramide (lactosylceramide) was shown to occur in incubations with rat spleen, brain, kidney, liver, and bone marrow preparations.

It has previously been shown that when the molecular species specificity of rat liver Golgi CMP-N-acetylneuraminate:lactosylceramide alpha 2,3-sialyltransferase was determined, using as the substrate lactosylceramide (LacCer) incorporated into liposomes ...

Elastin-derived peptides potentiate atherosclerosis through the immune Neu1-PI3Kγ pathway [PDF]
Aims Elastin is degraded during vascular ageing and its products, elastin-derived peptides (EP), are present in the human blood circulation. EP binds to the elastin receptor complex (ERC) at the cell surface, composed of elastin-binding protein (EBP), a ...

Intracellular localization of lactosylceramide, the major human neutrophil glycosphingolipid.
The abundance of lactosylceramide (LacCer; Gal beta 1-4Glc beta 1-1Cer) in human polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) (about 10(9) molecules/cell) seemed inconsistent with an exclusive plasma membrane LacCer localization in these cells. Therefore, the distribution of LacCer between plasma membrane and intracellular compartments was analyzed.

Glycolipid accumulation in bronchoalveolar space in adult respiratory distress syndrome.
Surfactant lipids in the alveolar space are believed to play an important role in normal respiratory function. Although the surface-active phospholipids have been extensively studied, the possible role of glycolipids in the surfactant remains to be ...

Here we have investigated how lactosylceramide (LacCer) modulates gene expression of adhesion molecules in TNF-α and IFNγ (CM)-stimulated astrocytes. We have observed that stimulation of astrocytes with CM increased the gene expression of ICAM-1 and VCAM-

From elastin peptides to neuraminidase-1-dependent lactosylceramide generation
Elastin peptides constitute a group of biologically active peptides derived from the fragmentation of insoluble elastin. These molecules, currently termed elastokines, have been shown to interact preferably with the elastin receptor complex.
