title: A novel inositol-containing glycosphingolipid isolated from human peripheral nerve.
abstract: An inositol-phosphate-containing glycosphingolipid, not reported earlier, was isolated from human cauda equina. Structural characterization showed the glycosphingolipid to be inositol-phosphoryl-2(3) galactosylceramide. The concentration varied between 25 and 30 nmol/g fresh tissue.
