Gangliosides comprise a large family; their oligosaccharides structures differ in the glycosidic linkage position, sugar configuration, and the contents of neutral sugars and sialic- acid content. The ceramide moiety of gangliosides, it also has some variation varies with respect to the type of long -chain base (LCB) (sphingosine- base) and fatty acid moiety.
