Abstract
We have been interested in the relationships between the structure and biological function of glycosphingolipids from invertebrate species. This review describes the oligosaccharide syntheses and biological activities of glycosphingolipids in invertebrates, focusing especially on the glycosphingolipids found in cestoda parasite, millipede, nematoda parasite and marine sponge.
