| PolysacDB ID | 1547 |
| Carbohydrate Name | Lipophosphoglycan (Drugpedia) |
| Carbohydrate Class | Glycolipid |
| Microbe | Leishmania mexicana (NCBI Taxonomy) (Drugpedia) |
| Basic Structure | LPG contains [PO4-->6Gal(β1-->4)Man(α1)] phosphosaccharide repeats linked to a conserved phosphosaccharide core and a conserved lyso alkylphosphatidylinositol residue. In contrast to L. donovani LPG, which exclusively contains the phosphodisaccharide repeats
