GalNAc beta 1----3 terminated glycosphingolipids of human erythrocytes

GalNAc beta 1----3 terminated glycosphingolipids of human erythrocytes

J Angström et al. Arch Biochem Biophys. 1986 Dec.

Abstract

Nonacid glycosphingolipids with 4 to 10 sugar residues isolated from pooled erythrocytes of blood group O donors have been efficiently separated as peracetylated derivatives on silicic acid. This procedure enabled a quantitative estimate of individual compounds and also revealed several GalNAc beta 1----3 terminated structures. The structural characterization of these glycolipids with 1H-NMR spectroscopy, direct inlet mass spectrometry, gas chromatography, and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry identified the compounds as GalNAc beta 1----3Gal alpha 1----4Gal beta 1----4Glc beta 1----1-N-acetyl sphingosine and GalNAc beta 1----3Gal alpha 1----4Gal beta 1----4Glc beta 1----1-N-acetyl phytosphingosine, GalNAc beta 1----3GalNAc beta 1----3Gal alpha 1----4Gal beta 1----4Glc beta 1----1 ceramide, and GalNAc beta 1----3Gal beta 1----4GlcNAc beta 1----3Gal beta 1----4Glc beta 1----1 ceramide.
