Definition
A glycoconjugate expressed by Leishmania promastigotes, the stage of the parasite characteristic for the sandfly vector. Lipophosphoglycan consists of lysoalkyl-sn-glycerophosphoinositol linked to a phosphosaccharide core conserved in all species, which is connected to PO4-6Galbeta1,4Manalpha1 repeats with species-specific substitutions at the Gal residue; the repeats are capped by conserved and species-specific oligosaccharides.
