C16 Globotriaosylceramide-d9 (d18:1/16:0-d9) is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of C16 globotriaosylceramide (Item No. 24875) by GC- or LC-MS. C16 Globotriaosylceramide (d18:1/16:0) is an endogenous sphingolipid found in mammalian cell membranes that is synthesized from C16 lactosylceramide (Item No. 24352).1 C16 Globotriaosylceramide acts as a receptor for Shiga toxin in B cell-derived Raji cells and THP-1 monocytes.2 It accumulates in endothelial cells, pericytes, vascular smooth muscle cells, renal epithelial cells, dorsal ganglia neuronal cells, and myocardial cells in patients with Fabry disease, a lysosomal storage disorder.3 Plasma levels of C16 globotriaosylceramide are increased in patients with ovarian carcinoma compared to those with benign ovarian tumors or uterine fibroids.4 As this product is derived from a natural source, there may be variations in the sphingoid backbone.
