Biochem/physiol Actions
Galactosylsphingosine, also known as psychosine, has an ability to induce apoptosis in various types of cells including oligodendrocytes. It is a toxic metabolite. Accumulation of this cytotoxic sphingolipid in the brain due to the deficiency of galactocerebrosidase (GALC) leads to the development of Krabbe disease.
