Glycolipids fucose-containing

Fig. 4 The soluble lectin BC2L-C of Burkholderia cenocepaceae is a complex architecture displaying two types of lectins. BC2L-C is a superlectin composed of a trimer of dimers (middle of the molecule) specific for mannose and the bacterial carbohydrate heptose (Hep) and by a dimer of trimers (upper and lower part of the molecule) recognizing the fucose-containing (Fucp) H type-1 glycolipids. ...

From the sponge M. incrustans, two cerebrosides and a polar glycolipid were isolated.78 Both cerebrosides contain galactose and sphingosine, but differ in the nature of their fatty acids the less polar cerebroside contains normal, and the more polar, monohydroxy, acids. The structure of the polar glycolipid was not established, but it was shown to contain sphingosine, fatty acids, galactose, arabinose, fucose, and phosphorus.78... 

Examination of the neutral glycolipids in the aqueous fraction of a buffered tetrahydrofuran extract of dog gastric mucosa indicated presence of glycosphingolipids containing significant amounts of N-acetylgalactosamine, but only traces of fucose (26). 

A novel ceramide octasaccharide (31) from the fresh-water bivalve, Corbicula sandai, which contained D-mannose-6-phosphate residues, is the first report of an internal L-fucose residue in a glycolipid. ...
