Structures of ceramide tetrasaccharides from various sources: uniqueness of rat kidney ceramide tetrasaccharide

Methylation analysis of ceramide tetrasaccharide isolated from human erythrocytes gave acetates of 2,3,6-tri-O-methylgalactitol and 2,4,6-tri-O-methylgalactitol in a ratio of 1 : 1, and about 50% of the galactose was oxidized by periodate. Rat kidney ceramide tetrasaccharide gave, in contrast, a muc...
