Cytolipin R from rat spleen.
Normal rat spleen contained a large amount of cytolipin R, N-acetylgalactosaminyl(beta1 leads to 3)-galactosyl(alpha1 leads to 3)galactosyl(beta1 leads to 4)glucosyl ceramide, together with a lesser amount of cytolipin K, N-acetylgalactosaminyl(beta1 leads to 3)galactosyl(alpha1 leads to 4)galactosyl(beta1 leads to 4)glucosyl ceramide, as in the case of rat kidney. Cytolipin R was confirmed to be not a rat tumor-dependent, but a species-specific glycolipid.
