Figure 1From: Accumulation of lysosulfatide in the brain of arylsulfatase A-deficient miceSulfatide (A) and lysosulfatide (B) structures. The glycosphingolipid sulfatide (galactosylceramide-3-O-sulfate) consists of a ceramide backbone (i.e. a long-chain base and a fatty acid chain) and a sulfated galactose moiety. Lysosulfatide is the deacylated form of sulfatide (sulfogalactosylsphingosine).Back to article page
