OMIM 604620
MeSH term 68016923

Phenotype triggers

  • more activity (high ligand concentration, overexpression) of Psychosine receptor
    in oligodendrocyte
    • Psy is primarily accumulated in oligodendroglia, which contain abundant GalCer, a precursor of Psy. The accumulated Psy is cytotoxic, and these cells were therefore injured or died on Psy accumulation, probably due to apoptosis. [1]
