The structure of canine intestinal trihexosylceramide.
One of the neutral glycosphingolipids isolated from dog intestine has a mobility on thin-layer chromatography and a carbohydrate composition similar to trihexosylceramides. Structural analysis has shown that it consists largely of isoglobotriaosylceramide, galactosyl(alpha-1-3)galactosyl(beta-1-4)glucosyl(beta 1-1')ceramide.
