Biochem/physiol Actions

Psychosine is a neurotoxic lysosphingolipid and a glycolipid precursor for the synthesis of cerebrosides. It is synthesized from galactosylceramide, phrenosin. Elevated psychosine levels are implicated in Krabbe disease. It mediates demyelination and consequently oligodendrocytesdegeneration. Psychosine is also correlated to neurological disease, Globoid cell leukodystrophy (GLD), where in galactosylceramidase (GALC) enzyme deficiency leads to its accumulation.
