3-O-Sulfogalactosylceramide (d18:1/24:1(15Z)) belongs to the glycosphingolipids, a subclass of sphingolipids within the organic compounds. It has the chemical formula C48H91NO11S. With an average molecular weight of 890.31 g/mol, 3-O-Sulfogalactosylceramide (d18:1/24:1(15Z)) is a heavy molecule. It is classified within the superclass of lipids and lipid-like molecules.
belongs to the class of organic compounds known as glycosphingolipids. These are sphingolipids containing a saccharide moiety glycosidically attached to the sphingoid base. Although saccharide moieties are mostly O-glycosidically linked to the ceramide moiety, other sphingolipids with glycosidic bonds of other types (e.g. S-,C-, or N-type) has been reported.
