Structurally based on ceramide, they include neutral globosides with multiple sugars, and single-galactose cerebrosides.
Structurally based on ceramide, they include neutral globosides with multiple sugars, and single-galactose cerebrosides. They determine blood groups and recognize cellular signals. Phosphocholine is found in the namesake (*) myelins, while oligosaccharides with sialic acid are found in gangliosides, which are not affected in Tay-Sachs. Degraded in lysosomes along with phospholipids, for 10 points—  name these enigmatic components.
