Glycosphingolipids of Chicken Skeletal Muscle in Early Development and Genetic Dystrophy

  • Chapter
Ganglioside Structure, Function, and Biomedical Potential

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 174))

Abstract

Our systematic characterization of the glycosphingolipids (GSL) of chicken skeletal muscle has revealed gangliosides of the lactosyl- (GM3, GD3), lactosylneotetraosyl- or lactosaminyl-(MG-IV*, MG-VI), ganglio- (GDla, GT1) and globo-(MG-V, DG-V) series. In fact, these latter globo-gangliosides were the first gangliosides described that contained the globoside oligosaccharide sequence.1, 3 The major neutral GSL in chicken muscle of the Leghorn strain is the Forssman hapten pentaglycosylceramide.4
