Flagellar membrane association via interaction with lipid rafts [PDF]
The eukaryotic flagellar membrane has a distinct composition from other domains of the plasmalemma. Our work shows that the specialized composition of the trypanosome flagellar membrane reflects increased concentrations of sterols and saturated fatty ...

Groups of brains from rats of various ages–7 to 275 days–were analyzed for their contents of galactolipids (cerebroside + cerebroside sulfate), cholesterol, and the individual fatty acids of the gangliosides and glycerophosphatides.

Structural diversity and biological significance of glycosphingolipids in pathogenic and opportunistic fungi [PDF]
Glycosphingolipids (GSLs) are ubiquitous membrane components and have key roles in biological systems, acting as second messengers or modulators of signal transduction by affecting several events, ranging from cell adhesion, cell growth, cell motility ...

Lipid composition of subcellular particles of human blood platelets
Human platelets can be fractionated into three main subcellular components: granules, membranes, and a soluble fraction. In this study we determined the phospholipid and neutral lipid content of the granules and membranes.

Chemical investigation of the methanolic extract of the Red Sea cucumber Holothuria spinifera led to the isolation of a new cerebroside, holospiniferoside (1), together with thymidine (2), methyl-α-d-glucopyranoside (3), a new triacylglycerol (4), and ...

The relationships between vitamin K and cognition: a review of current evidence [PDF]
Vitamin K is a fat-soluble nutrient discovered in 1935 and its role in blood coagulation has been thoroughly explored. In recent years, studies conducted in vitro and on animals highlighted vitamin K involvement in brain cells development and survival ...

II3NeuAc-GgOse4Cer (GM1) gangliosidosis is an incurable lysosomal storage disease caused by a deficiency in acid β-galactosidase (β-gal), resulting in the accumulation of ganglioside GM1 and its asialo derivative GgOse4Cer (GA1) in the central nervous ...

Night-time oxidation of a monolayer model for the air–water interface of marine aerosol - a study by simultaneous neutron reflectometry and in situ infra-red reflection absorption spectroscopy (IRRAS) [PDF]
This paper describes experiments on the ageing of a monolayer model for the air–water interface of marine aerosols composed of a typical glycolipid, galactocerebroside (GCB). Lipopolysaccharides have been observed in marine aerosols, and GCB is used as a

Cerebrosides containing either threo- or erythro-[3-3-H]sphingosine were synthesized by a new procedure. Glucopyranosyl or galactopyranosyl ceramides were converted to their 3-keto derivatives with 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyanobenzoquinone and reduced with 3 ...

Sphingogalactolipids (galactocerebrosides and sulfatides) have been isolated in almost quantitative yields from normal human nervous tissue (mostly brain) at different ages and their fatty acid compositions have been determined by gas-liquid ...
