C17 3'-sulfo Galactosylceramide (d18:1/17:0)

C17 3''-sulfo Galactosylceramide is a member of the sulfatide class of glycolipids. C17 3''-sulfo Galactosylceramide has been used as an internal standard for the quantification of sulfatides in urine and blood samples from patients with metachromatic leukodystrophy, a disorder characterized by arylsulfatase A deficiency, leading to sulfatide accumulation.
