General description
A neutral glycosphingolipid (GSL) that is the common precursor of the ganglio-, globo-, globoiso-, lacto-, neolacto-, and muco-series of GSL. Promotes a time- and concentration-dependent proliferation of aortic smooth muscle cells via specific activation of p44 MAP kinase. Also stimulates Ras-GTP loading, MEK and Raf kinases, p44 MAP kinase, and c-fos expression in human aortic smooth muscle cells.
