a possible role of ceramide in defining the carbohydrate structure of glycolipids and the expression of glycolipid function has been proposed , on the basis of our finding that the ceramide composition of `` '' lacto-series '' '' glycosphingolipid isolated from human erythrocytes shows a remarkable correlation with the terminal carbohydrate structure : ( i ) the ceramides of three glycosphingolipids with lex ( or x ) determinant [ gal beta 1 leads to 4 ( fuc alpha 1 leads to 3 ) glcnac ] had almost exclusively 16:0 fatty acid ;
