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. Galactosylates both hydroxy- and non-hydroxy fatty acid-containing ceramides and diglycerides.

An increase in the immunolabelling of ceramide was observed in cells where UDP glycosyltransferase 8 (UGT8) was down-regulated as opposed to cells where UGT8 was either not regulated or was up-regulated. PMID: 28746357
Data indicate that ceramide galactosyltransferase (UGT8), although enhanced in non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) tissues, does not meet the criteria of a lung tumor marker. PMID: 27620310
Our study suggests that CGT expression is controlled by balanced expression of the negative modulator OLIG2 and positive regulator Nkx2.2, providing new insights into how expression of GalCer is tightly regulated in cell-type- and stage-specific manners. PMID: 24821492
A new role was identified for UGT8 as a modulator of bile acid homeostasis. PMID: 25519837
High expression of UGT8 accompanied by accumulation of GalCer in MDA-MB-231 cells is associated with a much higher proliferative index and a lower number of apoptotic cells in comparison to the MDA/LUC-shUGT8 cells. PMID: 24391908
Comprehensive genomic analyses associate UGT8 variants with musical ability in a Mongolian population. PMID: 23118445

We postulate that molecular link between defective GALT enzyme, which result in classic galactosemia and the cerebroside galactosyl transferase, responsible for galactosylation of cerebrosides, is dependent on concentrations of UDP-galactose. PMID: 16125333
