Lipid‐Bound Oligosaccharides in Insects

Membrane preparations from immature stages of the fruit fly Ceratitis capitata catalyze the transfer of mannose from GDP‐[14C]mannose into lipid‐linked oligosaccharides. These compounds behave as polyprenyl derivatives and their formation is stimulated by the addition of an acidic glyco‐lipid fracti...
