Presence of unsaturated sphingomyelins and changes in their composition during the life cycle of the moth Manduca sexta

Presence of unsaturated sphingomyelins and changes in their composition during the life cycle of the moth Manduca sexta

NMR and electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry were used to show for the first time the presence of sphingomyelins in extracts of the tobacco hornworm Manduca sexta (Lepidoptera). The sphingosine in the ceramide was identified as tetradecasphing-4-enine, and the fatty acids were C18:0, C20...
