[HTML][HTML] Role of sulfatide in normal and pathological cells and tissues
T Takahashi, T Suzuki - Journal of lipid research, 2012 - ASBMB
Sulfatide is 3-O-sulfogalactosylceramide that is synthesized by two transferases (ceramide
galactosyltransferase and cerebroside sulfotransferase) from ceramide and is specifically
degraded by a sulfatase (arylsulfatase A). Sulfatide is a multifunctional molecule for various
biological fields including the nervous system, insulin secretion, immune system,
hemostasis/thrombosis, bacterial infection, and virus infection. Therefore, abnormal
metabolism or expression change of sulfatide could cause various diseases. Here, we …
