Convenient and Sensitive Measurement of Lactosylceramide Synthase Activity Using Deuterated Glucosylceramide and Mass Spectrometry by Michele Dei Cas, Linda Montavoci, Sara Casati, Nadia Malagolini, Fabio Dall’Olio, Marco Trinchera

“…Lactosylceramide synthase activity was classically determined in vitro by a method based on the incorporation of radiolabeled galactose followed by the chromatographic separation and quantitation of the product by liquid scintillation counting. Here, we used deuterated glucosylceramide as the acceptor substrate and quantitated the deuterated lactosylceramide product by liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). …”
