Definition:	A branched amino pentasaccharide consisting of a linear sequence of two α-sialyl residues, a β-D-galactosyl residue and an N-acetyl-β-D-glucosamine residue linked respectively (2→8), (2→8) and (1→4), to the galactosyl residue of which is also linked (1→4) an N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminyl residue. It is the carbohydrate portion of ganglioside GD2.
