Isolation and identification of a fucose-containing ganglioside from bovine thyroid gland.
Bovine thyroid glands are known to contain a complex array of gandliosides. One of the predominant gangliosides was isolated analyzed by gas-liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry. The carbohydrate composition was fucose, N-acetylneuraminic acid, galactose, N-acetylgalactosamine, and glucose in molar ratios of 1:1:2:1:1. The structure of the ganglioside was identified as: (Formula: see text).
