Glycolipid headgroup replacement: a new approach for the analysis of specific functions of glycolipids in vivo.

Abstract excerpt

Glycolipids with one or two sugar residues attached to different lipid backbones are found in biomembranes of bacteria, fungi, plants and animals in the form of steryl glycosides, glycosylceramides and diacylglycerol glycosides. They contain different sugar residues, mainly glucose and galactose, in either alpha- or beta-configuration. Many of the isolated compounds have been studied in great detail with regard...
