GLYCOLIPIDS BASED ON GLYCEROL These lipids consist of a mono- or oligosaccharide moiety linked glycosidically to the hydroxyl group of glycerol which may […]
MONOGLYCOSYLCERAMIDES An amide bound between a fatty acid and the amine group of sphingosine or other related amino alcohols gives rise to […]
SESTERTERPENES They are derived from geranylfarnesol pyrophosphate and have 25 carbon atoms (the sester- prefix means half to three, i.e. two and […]
GANGLIOSIDES Gangliosides are the group of glycosphingolipids that show the greatest structural variation and also the more complex structure. Except some echinoderms, […]
STEROLS Sterols may be found either as free sterols, acylated (sterol esters), alkylated (steryl alkyl ethers), sulfated (sterol sulfate), or linked to a […]
