Figure 1. Chemical structures of globotriaosylceramide (Gb₃) isoforms, globotriaosylsphingosine (lyso-Gb₃), and related analogues. The exact positions of the hydroxyl group on the fatty acid of Gb₃(C24:OH), and of the double bond on the fatty acids of Gb₃(C16:1), Gb₃(C22:1), Gb₃(C24:1), Gb₃(C22:1)Me, and Gb₃(C24:1)Me isoforms are unknown and might differ from the position displayed in the figure.
