Ganglioside GM3 synthase is a key enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of gangliosides. GM3 synthase deficiency (GM3SD) causes an absence of GM3 and all downstream biosynthetic derivatives, including all the a-, b-, c-series gangliosides, commonly found ...

ABSTRACT Background Late‐onset Tay–Sachs disease (LOTS) is a rare lysosomal disorder that contrasts with the classical infantile form by presenting with milder and heterogeneous neurological manifestations, including lower motor neuron phenotypes.

Gangliosides and autoimmune diabetes
Gangliosides are sialic acid-containing glycolipids which are formed by a hydrophobic portion, the ceramide, and a hydrophilic part, i.e. the oligosaccharide chain. First described in neural tissue, several studies have shown that gangliosides are almost

We previously reported a hamster animal model of melanoma in which the tumor tissue expresses gangliosides GM3, GD3, and O-acetyl GD3. This ganglioside pattern is similar to that in human melanomas (Ren, S., A. Slominski, and R. K. Yu.

ABSTRACT The peripheral nervous system (PNS) is responsible for innervating all regions of the body outside of the central nervous system (CNS), the latter consisting of the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves. While myelin is an essential component for the efficient functioning of both CNS and peripheral nerve cells, it is particularly important for ...

ABSTRACT Background and Aims Definite diagnosis of multifocal motor neuropathy with conduction block (MMNCB) requires identification of electrophysiological motor conduction block (CB), which is sometimes challenging to demonstrate. Magnetic resonance (MR) neurography is recommended as a supportive diagnostic criterion.

Gangliosides enhance neurite outgrowth in PC12 cells
Gangliosides are surface membrane components that have been suggested to play a significant role in the regulation of many cellular events including neuronal differentiation, growth and regeneration.

Membrane Complexity and Phase Behavior Dictate the Stability of Membrane‐Inserted Aβ42 Hexamers
Neuronal membrane order and the specific interplay of constituent lipids modulate the structural stability of Aβ(1–42) hexamers. This lipid environment facilitates the stabilization of a transmembrane β‐barrel conformation, providing a molecular basis for understanding how membrane composition influences the formation of stable amyloid pores in ...

Vascular Diseases and Gangliosides
Vascular diseases, such as myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction, are most commonly caused by atherosclerosis, one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Risk factors for atherosclerosis include lifestyle and aging.
