Glycolipids are carbohydrate-attached lipids. Their role is to
provide energy and also serve as markers for cellular recognition.
They occur where a carbohydrate chain is associated with
phospholipids on the exoplasmic surface of the cell membrane. The
carbohydrates are found on the outer surface of all eukaryotic cell
membranes. They extend from the phospholipid bilayer into the
aqueous environment outside the cell where it acts as a recognition
site for specific chemicals as well as helping to maintain the
stability of the membrane and attaching cells to one another to
form tissues. This new book focuses on recent research results from
around the world.
