Metabolite Identification
Common NameGlcCer(d18:1/26:0)
DescriptionGlcCer(d18:1/26:0), also known as cerebroside (CB), glycosphingolipid or glycoceramide, is a glucosylceramide (GlcCer). Glucosylceramides are members of the class of compounds known as sphingolipids (SPs), or glycosylceramides. SPs are lipids containing a backbone of sphingoid bases (e.g. sphingosine or sphinganine) that are often covalently bound to a fatty acid derivative through N-acylation. SPs are found in cell membranes, particularly in peripheral nerve cells and the cells found in the central nervous system (including the brain and spinal cord). Sphingolipids are extremely versatile molecules that have functions controlling fundamental cellular processes such as cell division, differentiation, and cell death. Impairments associated with sphingolipid metabolism are associated with many common human diseases such as diabetes, various cancers, microbial infections, diseases of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems, Alzheimer’s disease and other neurological syndromes. The biosynthesis and catabolism of sphingolipids involves a large number of intermediate metabolites where many different enzymes are involved. Simple sphingolipids, which include the sphingoid bases and ceramides, make up the early products of the sphingolipid synthetic pathways, while complex sphingolipids may be formed by the addition of head groups to the ceramide template (Wikipedia). Cerebroside is the common name for monoglycosylceramides which are important components in animal muscle and nerve cell membranes. In terms of their chemical structure, GlcCers can either be glycosphingolipids (ceramide and oligosaccharide) or oligoglycosylceramides with one or more sialic acids (i.e. n-acetylneuraminic acid) linked on the sugar chain. GlcCers are important components of the cell plasma membrane, which modulates cell signal transduction events. Gangliosides have been found to be very important in immunology. Gangliosides can amount to 6% of the weight of lipids from brain, but they are found at lower levels in other animal tissues. There are four types of glycosphingolipids, the cerebrosides, sulfatides, globosides and gangliosides. CBs consist of a ceramide with a single sugar residue which could be either glucose or galactose; the two major types are therefore called glucocerebrosides (glucosylceramides; containing glucose) and galactocerebrosides (galactosylceramides; containing galactose). Galactocerebrosides are the most common and are typically found in neuronal cell membrane, while glucocerebrosides are the least common and are found in other tissues such as the spleen and erythrocytes. Glucocerebrosides are not normally found in cell membranes. Instead, they are typically intermediates in the synthesis or degradation of more complex glycosphingolipids. In humans, glucosylceramide is produced by the enzyme ceramide glucosyltransferase from a ceramide or by the enzyme beta-galactosidase from a lactosylceramides (LacCer). The latter could also be produced from glucosylceramides by the enzyme beta-1,4-galactosyltransferase 6. Glucosylceramide could be hydrolyzed by the enzyme glucosylceramidase to produce a ceramide. Galactosylceramide on the other hand could undergo sulfoglycolipid biosynthesis to produce a sulfatide which in turn can be catalyzed by the enzyme arylsulfatase A to generate a galactosylceramide. Galactosylceramide could also be hydrolyzed to produce a ceramide by the enzyme galactosylceramidase. Other sources for galactosylceramide are ganglioside and digalactosylceramide, which are processed by the enzymes sialidase-2/3/4 and alpha-galactosidase respectively. Excess lysosomal accumulation of glucocerebrosides is found in Gaucher disease, which is an inborn error of metabolism. In terms of its appearance and structure, GlcCer(d18:1/26:0) is a colorless solid that consists of an unsaturated 18-carbon sphingoid base with an attached saturated hexacosanoyl fatty acid side chain. In most mammalian SPs, the 18-carbon sphingoid bases are predominant (PMID: 9759481 ).

Involved in hydrolase activity, hydrolyzing O-glycosyl compounds
Specific function:
Cleaves beta-linked terminal galactosyl residues from gangliosides, glycoproteins, and glycosaminoglycans. Isoform 2 has no beta-galactosidase catalytic activity, but plays functional roles in the formation of extracellular elastic fibers (elastogenesis) and in the development of connective tissue. Seems to be identical to the elastin-binding protein (EBP), a major component of the non-integrin cell surface receptor expressed on fibroblasts, smooth muscle cells, chondroblasts, leukocytes, and certain cancer cell types. In elastin producing cells, associates with tropoelastin intracellularly and functions as a recycling molecular chaperone which facilitates the secretions of tropoelastin and its assembly into elastic fibers.
