| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Psychosine is a neurotoxic lysosphingolipid and a glycolipid precursor for the synthesis of cerebrosides. It is synthesized from galactosylceramide, phrenosin. Elevated psychosine levels are implicated in Krabbe disease. It mediates demyelination and consequently oligodendrocytes degenera |
