Schematic structure of Sda/Cad and its carriers/precursors in different tissues. Sda on Cad phenotype red blood cells are carried as glycosphingolipid conjugates, O-GalNAc structures on glycophorin A (GPA), and equilibrative nucleoside transporter 1 (ENT1), and as N-glycans on Band 3.9,33,34 Uromodulin found in urine exhibits Sda carried on N-glycans,36–38 while it is found on O-GalNAc type 3 core structures on the mucins produced in the colon.40 *Gal-GalNAc/GlcNAc glycosidic linkages have not been defined. The O-GalNAc glycan of ENT1 is expected to be a core 1 (Galβ1-3-GalNAc-) moiety, while the Band 3 N-glycan is a complex biantennary structure with either β3 or β4 linkage.9
