Sulfatides or sulfo-galactosylceramide (S-GalCer) plays a vital role in protein trafficking, signal transduction and neuronal cell differentiation. Elevated levels of S-GalCer in lysosomes due to arylsulfatase A (ASA) deficiency leads to the development of metachromatic leukodystrophy in humans.
General description
18:0(2S-OH) Sulfo GalCer, also known as 3-O-sulfo-D-galactosyl-β1-1′-N-[2"(S)-hydroxystearyl]-D-erythro-sphingosine, is a sulfatide derived from 18:0(2S-OH) GalCer via esterification of a sulfate group to 3-hydroxyl of the galactose moiety. It is a vital constituent of the membranous myelin sheath.
