Glycosphingolipids in human parasites
FEBS Open Bio, Volume 13, Issue 9, Page 1625-1635, September 2023., 2023 The parasites that infect humans and animals include protozoans and helminths (worms). Their secretions and cellular membranes contain complex glycomolecules including glycoproteins and glycolipids. A class of glycolipids shared between humans and parasites are the glycosphingolipids (GSLs) containing a lipid (ceramide) linked to a glycan ...
