Alpha-galactoceramide (α-GalCer) is an immunogenic glycolipid, found in marine sponges and bacteria, presented by CD1 molecules to invariant NKT (iNKT) cells.
An immunogenic glycolipid originally extracted from marine sponges but actually produced by various bacteria that is a ligand presented by CD1 to invariant NKT iNKT cells
