Description

Compared to other sphingolipids throughout the body, which are predominantly composed of C-18 sphingosine, only central nervous system (CNS) gangliosides contain significant amounts of D-erythro-sphingosine C-20. The concentration of D-erythro-sphingosine C-20 within mammalian brain gangliosides apparently escalates with developmental maturation. The ratio of C-18 to C-20 sphingosine in the brain is thought to be related to some nervous system degeneration processes.
