Sulfoglycosphingolipids are a type of glycosphingolipid that contains a sulfate ester group in their carbohydrate moiety. They are found in various tissues and play important roles in cell recognition, signal transduction, and cell adhesion. One of the most well-known sulfoglycosphingolipids is the molecule called sulfatide, which is a major component of myelin sheaths in the nervous system. Abnormalities in sulfoglycosphingolipid metabolism have been associated with several diseases, including certain forms of cancer and neurological disorders.
