Descriptor gangliósidos
Entry term(s) gangliósido
sialoglucoesfingolípidos
Scope note: Subclase de los GLICOESFINGOLIPÍDOS ACÍDICOS. Contienen uno o más residuos de ácido siálico (ACIDO N-ACETILNEURAMÍNICO). Utilizando el sistema Svennerholm de abreviaturas, los glangliósidos se designan con la G para gangliósido, más el subíndice M, D o T para mono-, di- o trisialo, respectivamente, seguido por un subíndice numérico para indicar la secuencia de la migración en la cromatografía en capa fina.

Scope note: A subclass of ACIDIC GLYCOSPHINGOLIPIDS. They contain one or more sialic acid (N-ACETYLNEURAMINIC ACID) residues. Using the Svennerholm system of abbrevations, gangliosides are designated G for ganglioside, plus subscript M, D, or T for mono-, di-, or trisialo, respectively, the subscript letter being followed by a subscript arabic numeral to indicated sequence of migration in thin-layer chromatograms.
