Insects: Animals Without Gangliosides — Preliminary Data

  • Conference paper
Gangliosides and Modulation of Neuronal Functions

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIH,volume 7))

Abstract

The animal kingdom is divided phylogenetically into the Deuterostomia and the Protostomia. The main acidic glycosphingolipids of the former are sialic acid-containing lipids: the gangliosides (1). The invertebrate members of this group, the Echinodermata, contain gangliosides albeit of atypical structure (2–4). The acidic moiety(ies) for the majority of the invertebrate phyla of the Protostomia is unknown, however, all glycolipids examined to-date were sialic acid negative (5).
