| Abstract: | The main component of the ganglioside1 mixture from the brain of the adult amphibian Xenopus laevis accounts for 35% of the total, as lipid bound sialic acid. This ganglioside has been purified and characterized by thin layer chromatography, partial and exhaustive enzymatic hydrolysis with sialidase, TLC-overlay procedures with anti-Gg4Cer and anti-Neu5Ac 6GalNAc specific monoclonal antibodies and mass spectrometry. All together the results suggest the following structure:Neu5Ac8Neu5Ac3Gal3(Neu5Ac8Neu5Ac6)GalNAc4Gal4Glc1Ceror, IV3--Neu5Ac2,III6--Neu5Ac2-Gg4Cer. |
