A monosialosylgangliopentaosyl ceramide was isolated from Xenopus laevis oocytes. It represented 5.8% of the total acidic glycosphingolipids. From the results of sugar-composition analysis, enzymatic hydrolysis, permethylation analysis, and negative ion fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry, the structure of the ganglioside was determined to be as follows: [sequence: see text] The predominant species of fatty acids were alpha-hydroxy fatty acids, h22:0, h24:0, and h24:1. The long chain bases of this ganglioside consisted mainly of d18:1 sphingosine and phytosphingosine. Other acidic glycolipids were also characterized. The most abundant component of acidic glycolipids was sulfatide, which represented 85.7% of the total acidic glycolipid mixture. GM3, GM2, GM1a, and GD1a were also detected.

D006028 Glycosphingolipids Lipids containing at least one monosaccharide residue and either a sphingoid or a ceramide (CERAMIDES). They are subdivided into NEUTRAL GLYCOSPHINGOLIPIDS comprising monoglycosyl- and oligoglycosylsphingoids and monoglycosyl- and oligoglycosylceramides; and ACIDIC GLYCOSPHINGOLIPIDS which comprises sialosylglycosylsphingolipids (GANGLIOSIDES); SULFOGLYCOSPHINGOLIPIDS (formerly known as sulfatides), glycuronoglycosphingolipids, and phospho- and phosphonoglycosphingolipids.
