GO:0001572
Synonyms
  • lacto-series glycosphingolipid biosynthesis
  • lactosylceramide anabolism
  • lactosylceramide biosynthesis
  • lactosylceramide formation
  • lactosylceramide synthesis
Definition
The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of lactosylceramides that begins with the synthesis of a disaccharide core 4-Gal-beta-1,4-Glc-ceramide. This core can be further elongated with the sequential addition of various carbohydrate units and is also the precursor for the synthesis of gangliosides, globosides and isoglobosides. 35536927
