Abstract

The discovery and structural identification of glycolipids in erythrocyte membranes by the author's research group are reviewed. Differences among species and individuals were the characteristic features of glycolipids in erythrocytes. Individual differences were subjected to genetic analysis and led the discovery of genes involved in the genetic regulation of glycolipid expression in dogs and mice.
