Lipider som innehåller minst en monosackaridrest och antingen en sfingoid eller en ceramid. De indelas i a) neutrala glykosfingolipider, omfattande monoglykosyl- och oligoglykosylsfingoider samt monoglykosyl- och oligoglykosylceramider, b) sura glykosfingolipider, omfattande sialosylglykosylsfingolipider (gangliosider), och c) sulfoglykosylsfingolipider (tidigare sulfatider), glykuronoglykosfingolipider samt fosfo- och fosfonoglykosfingolipider.
Lipids containing at least one monosaccharide residue and either a sphingoid or a ceramide (CERAMIDES). They are subdivided into NEUTRAL GLYCOSPHINGOLIPIDS comprising monoglycosyl- and oligoglycosylsphingoids and monoglycosyl- and oligoglycosylceramides; and ACIDIC GLYCOSPHINGOLIPIDS which comprises sialosylglycosylsphingolipids (GANGLIOSIDES); SULFOGLYCOSPHINGOLIPIDS (formerly known as sulfatides), glycuronoglycosphingolipids, and phospho- and phosphonoglycosphingolipids.
