Synonyms: | N-[(1S,2S,3R)-1-[(alpha-D-galactopyranosyloxy)methyl]-2,3-dihydroxy-9-phenylnonyl]hexacosanamide, N-[(2S,3S,4R)-1-(alpha-D-galactopyranosyloxy)-3,4-dihydroxy-13-phenyltridecan-2-yl]hexacosanamide |
Definition: | An alpha-galactosylceramide in which the nitrogen carries a hexacosanamido group and C-4 carries in addition to a hydroxy function a 9-phenylnonyl group. Essentially a phytosphingosine analogue with a truncated lipid chain terminating in a benzene ring, it has been used in investigations on the binding affinity of glycolipids to CD1d molecules. |
