Pronunciation varies by accent · noun
A class of glycosphingolipids containing the sequence Galβ(1,4)Glcβ(1,3)Galβ-Cer (galactose, glucose, galactose, ceramide).
So far, schisto- and spirometo-series glycosphingolipids have been only found in parasitic helminths
Structural analyses of the neutral glycosphgolipids from plerocercoids of the parasites Spirometra erinacei (Kawakami et al., 2993, 1995, 1996), Spirometra mansonoides (Singh et al., 1987), Diplogonoporus balaenopterae (Kawakami et al., 1997) as well as adult worms and plerocercoids of Diphyllobothrium hottai (Iriko et al., 2002) revealed the presence of a novel and so far unique biosynthetic series (spirometo-series) which is based on galactosylceramide and characterized by the monosaccharide sequence Gal(β1-4)Glc(β1-3)Galceramide (Fig. 21.6).
AK97 was originally established for a spirometo-series parasitic glycosphingolipid having a characteristic trisaccharide structure [Galβ1-4(Fucα1-3)Glcβ-] (Kawakami et al. 1993) but strongly reacts also with SSEA-1 (Yanagisawa et al. 1999).
Use spirometo-series when its meaning, tone and grammar fit the full sentence. A synonym is not always a direct replacement.
Spirometo-series means A class of glycosphingolipids containing the sequence Galβ(1,4)Glcβ(1,3)Galβ-Cer (galactose, glucose, galactose, ceramide).
The closest synonym depends on the sentence and intended sense.
The opposite depends on the specific sense.
So far, schisto- and spirometo-series glycosphingolipids have been only found in parasitic helminths
