Structure of the Shiga receptor Gb3 (A) and synthesis of Gb3 from its precursors GlcCer and LacCer (B). The letter and number of the carbohydrate structure symbols describe the nature of the glycosidic linkage. Thus, β4 represents a β1-4 linkage to the carbohydrate on the right, and Gb3 is Galα1-4Galβ1-4GlcCer. Redrawn from [6] with approval from Elsevier.
