Sulfoglycolipids are an important group of negatively charged biological compounds that have essential and farreaching cellular functions. They are especially active in interacting with extracellular matrix proteins, cellular adhesive receptors, blood coagulation systems, and microorganisms.1 Sulfated glycolipids are produced by action of the enzyme cerebroside sulfotransferase (CST) which transfers a sulfate to the sugar moiety. Sulfated-lactosylceramide was shown to abrogate anchorage-independent growth and cell adhesion to laminin and fibronectin, which could be attributed to decreased
