glycolipids

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.G02653
Naturally occurring 1,2-di-O-acylglycerols joined at oxygen 3 by a glycosidic linkage to a carbohydrate part (usually a mono-, di- or tri-saccharide). Some substances classified as bacterial glycolipids have the sugar part acylated by one or more @F02330@ and the glycerol part may be absent.
