THE GLYCOLIPIDS OF NORMAL HUMAN SKIN

Abstract
Glucosylceramide (CMH), lactosylceramide (CDH), ***trihexosylceramide (CTH), Globoside I, GM3, and GD3 were detected as constituent sphingoglycolipids of normal human skin, using Unisil, DEAE‐Sephadex, Iatrobeads column chromatography, and reversed‐phase chromatography. These procedures enabled isolation of glycolipids from even small amounts of skin.
