C18 Galactosylceramide-d35 is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of C18 galactosylceramide by GC- or LC-MS. C18 Galactosylceramide is a naturally occurring sphingolipid that has been found in the cerebellum of rats and humans.1,2 It is selectively localized with cholesterol over potassium, sodium, or phosphocholine in rat cerebellum white matter.1 [Matreya, LLC.
