The neutral glycosphingolipid lactosylceramide (LacCer) forms lipid rafts (membrane microdomains) coupled with the Src family kinase Lyn on the plasma membranes of human neutrophils; ligand binding to LacCer activates Lyn, resulting in neutrophil functions, such as superoxide generation and migration (Iwabuchi and Nagaoka, Lactosylceramide-enriched glycosphingolipid signaling domain mediates superoxide generation from human neutrophils, Blood 100, 1454-1464, 2002 and Sato et al.
