The molecule is a carbohydrate acid derivative anion that is the hexa-anion of Kdo2-lipid A arising from deprotonation of both the carboxyl and phosphate functions. It is a carbohydrate acid derivative anion, a dicarboxylic acid dianion and an anionic phospholipid. It is a conjugate base of a (Kdo)2-lipid A (E. coli).
