Psychosine
Psychosine (Galactosylsphingosine) is a cytotoxic lysolipid that acts as a PKC inhibitor and a substrate for GALC, serving as a key biomarker for Krabbe's disease. Its role in inducing apoptosis makes it a critical tool for studying neurodegenerative mechanisms in both cellular and animal models of lysosomal storage disorders.
