Sphingolipids
Sphingolipids
 are similar to glycerophospholipids
 contain sphingosine, a fatty acid, phosphate, and an
amino alcohol

Sphingomyelin
Sphingomyelin
 is a sphingolipid found in nerve cells
 bonds the —OH of a ceramide to a phosphate ester of
choline

Glycosphingolipids
Glycosphingolipids are
 sphingolipids that contain monosaccharides attached
by a -glycosidic bond to the —OH group of ceramide

Cerebrosides
Cerebrosides
 contain galactose or glucose attached by a
-glycosidic bond to the —OH group of ceramide
 are found in the brain and the myelin sheath
 are important in cellular recognition and tissue
immunity

Gangliosides
Ganglia: Nerve tussues at CNS/PNS
Gangliosides
 are sphingolipids that contain chains of two to seven
monosaccharides
 are important in neurons
 are found on cell membrane surfaces
 act as receptors for hormones, viruses, and drugs
 can cause genetic diseases if they accumulate

GM2 is a ganglioside
 that accumulates in Tay-Sachs disease when
hexoamidase A is defective
