Characterization of the glycosphingolipids of pig cortical bone and cartilage
N Fukaya, M Ito, H Iwata, T Yamagata - Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA …, 1989 - Elsevier
Neutral glycosphingolipids and gangliosides were extracted from pig cortical bone and
cartilage. To ensure the completeness of extraction, the cortical bone was demineralized
and reextracted. Globotriaosylceramide and globoside were noted to be present at high
content in the cortical bone. It contained glucosylceramide, lactosylceramide,
globotriaosylceramide and globoside as neutral glycosphingolipids at a ratio of 1: 0.7: 3.1:
2.7. In articular cartilage, the ratio was 1: 0.7: 0.4: 0.8. G M3 and G D3 were the major …
