Descriptor lactosilceramidas
Scope note: Glucoesfingolípidos que contienen como cabeza polar una lactosa unida al grupo hidroxilo de la ceramida mediante un enlace glucosídico. Su acumulación en los tejidos, debida a un defecto en la lactosilceramida beta galactosidasa, es la causa de las lactosilceramidosis.
