Preferred Label : cerebrosides;
MeSH definition : Neutral glycosphingolipids that contain a monosaccharide, normally glucose or galactose,
in 1-ortho-beta-glycosidic linkage with the primary alcohol of an N-acyl sphingoid
(ceramide). In plants the monosaccharide is normally glucose and the sphingoid usually
phytosphingosine. In animals, the monosaccharide is usually galactose, though this
may vary with the tissue and the sphingoid is usually sphingosine or dihydrosphingosine.
