g(m1) ganglioside	A sialotetraosylceramide consisting of a branched pentasaccharide made up from one sialyl residue, two galactose residues, one N-acetylgalactosamine residue and a glucose residue at the reducing end attached to N-stearoylsphingosine via a beta-linkage.	ganglioside GM1
siagoside	A sialotetraosylceramide consisting of the disialoganglioside GM1 with a lactone ring formed between C-1 of the NeuNac residue and C-2 of the galactose residue proximal to the ceramide moiety.	3)-[beta-D-Gal-(1->3)-beta-D-GalNAc-(1->4)]-beta-D-Gal-(1->4)-beta-D-Glc-(1<->1')-N-stearoylsphingosine-1(II'),2(II)-lactone.html>alpha-Neu5Ac-(2->3)-[beta-D-Gal-(1->3)-beta-D-GalNAc-(1->4)]-beta-D-Gal-(1->4)-beta-D-Glc-(1<->1')-N-stearoylsphingosine 1(II'),2(II) lactone
