PSYCHOSINE

PSYCHOSINE is a lipid of Sphingolipids (SP) class. Psychosine is associated with abnormalities such as Globoid cell leukodystrophy, Demyelinating Diseases, Multiple Sclerosis, nervous system disorder and Lysosomal Storage Diseases. The involved functions are known as Ionization, Pathogenesis, Demyelination, 5-(carboxyamino)imidazole ribonucleotide mutase activity and Increased Sensitivy. Psychosine often locates in Body tissue, CNS - Brain (MMHCC), Autosome, Peripheral Nervous System and Nerve Tissue. The associated genes with PSYCHOSINE are GALC gene, NTRK1 gene, JUN gene, ALPP gene and Polylysine. The related lipids are Fatty Acids, fatty aldehyde, lysophosphatidic acid, Stearic acid and stearoyl chloride. The related experimental models are Mouse Model and Streptozotocin Diabetes.
