Galactofuranose-containing glycoconjugates in trypanosomatids
Galactofuranose has been characterized in glycoinositolphospholipid (GIPL) anchor-like structures having a glycerolipid or a ceramide, as in lipopeptidophosphoglycan (LPPG) of Trypanosoma cruzi, in the oligosaccharide core of lipophosphoglycan (LPG) of Leishmania species, and also modifying high-man...
