Trihexosylceramide (d18:1/12:0)（Cat No.:I041248）is a complex glycosphingolipid composed of a ceramide backbone linked to a hexose sugar chain. It contains a sphingoid base (d18:1) with an 18-carbon chain and a 12-carbon fatty acid (12:0, also known as lauric acid). This lipid is involved in cellular processes such as membrane structure, cell signaling, and intercellular communication. Trihexosylceramide (d18:1/12:0) is often studied in the context of glycolipid metabolism, cellular membrane dynamics, and neurobiology, as alterations in glycosphingolipids are implicated in several neurodegenerative and metabolic diseases.
