The molecule is an N-glycosylated dialkylglycerophosphoethanolamine in which the dialkylglycerophosphoethanolamine is 1,2-dihexadecyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine and the glycosylating saccharide is the branched nonasaccharide alpha-D-Man-(1->2)-alpha-D-Man-(1->2)-alpha-D-Man-(1->3)-[alpha-D-Man-(1->3)-[alpha-D-Man-(1->6)]-alpha-D-Man-(1->6)]-beta-D-Man-(1->4)-beta-D-GlcNAc-(1->4)-D-GlcNAc, the GlcNAc residue at the reducing end of which is in the ring-opened form. It has a role as a neoglycolipid probe. It derives from a 1,2-dihexadecyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine.
