| Function |
Catalyzes the transfer of galactose to ceramide, a key enzymatic step in the biosynthesis of galactocerebrosides, which are abundant sphingolipids of the myelin membrane of the central nervous system and peripheral nervous system (PubMed:9125199). Galactosylates both hydroxy- and non-hydroxy fatty acid-containing ceramides and diglycerides (By similarity).
