MeSH definition : Cerebrosides which contain as their polar head group a galactose moiety bound in glycosidic
linkage to the hydroxyl group of ceramide. Their accumulation in tissue, due to a
defect in beta-galactosidase, is the cause of galactosylceramide lipidosis or globoid
cell leukodystrophy.;
