General description
Galactocerebroside (GalC) is a major galactosphingolipid of myelin which plays a role in myelination. GalC is a very useful, specific marker for oligodendroglial lineage.
Specificity
Galactocerebroside (GalC), sulfatide, psychosine and other galactolipids cross-reacts with the sulfatide ester of GalC, but to a 16-fold lesser extent. No cross-reactivity with sphingosine, ceramide, mixed ganglioside or glucocerebroside. Binds specifically with oligodendrocytes and Schwann cells.
Immunogen
Synaptic plasma membranes from bovine hippocampus.
Application
Detect Galactocerebroside using this Milli-Mark Anti-Galactocerebroside-FITC Antibody, clone mGalC validated for use in FC.
