Cytolipin H mirrors non-neural cerebroside lipids in animals; extends early biochemistry but leaves human relevance open.
Cytolipin H has a lipid composition similar to cerebrosides derived from non-nervous animal tissues.
Rapport et al. (1961) studied this question. Cytolipin H preparations was evaluated on Fatty acid and lipid base composition. Analyses of cytolipin H preparations revealed a nonuniform distribution of normal saturated fatty acids, predominantly lignoceric acid, and lipid bases consisting of 93% sphingosine.
