Tree Number(s): D02.065.313.612; D09.400.410.420.525.200.612; D10.390.470.675.200.612; D10.570.877.360.612.200.612
Unique ID: D007790
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D007790
Annotation: /biosyn /‌physiol permitted
Scope Note: Glycosphingolipids which contain as their polar head group a lactose moiety bound in glycosidic linkage to the hydroxyl group of ceramide. Their accumulation in tissue, due to a defect in lactosylceramide beta-galactosidase, is the cause of lactosylceramidosis.
Entry Term(s): Lactosyl Ceramides
Registry Numbers: 0
