Production of multiple brain-like ganglioside species is dispensable for fas-induced apoptosis of lymphoid cells. [PDF]
Activation of an acid sphingomyelinase (aSMase) leading to a biosynthesis of GD3 disialoganglioside has been associated with Fas-induced apoptosis of lymphoid cells. The present study was undertaken to clarify the role of this enzyme in the generation of

Neuromuscular synaptic transmission in aged ganglioside-deficient mice [PDF]
Gangliosides are sialylated glycosphingolipids that are present in high density on neuronal membranes, especially at synapses, where they are assumed to play functional or modulating roles.

TNF differentially regulates ganglioside biosynthesis and expression in breast cancer cell lines. [PDF]
Gangliosides are glycosphingolipids concentrated in glycolipid-enriched membrane microdomains. Mainly restricted to the nervous system in healthy adult, complex gangliosides such as GD3 and GD2 have been shown to be involved in aggressiveness and ...

LC-MS analysis of gangliosides : methods development and software solutions [PDF]
Gangliosides are high molecular weight, specialized metabolites found at greatest concentration in the central nervous system. They are glycosphingolipids, possessing a nonpolar ceramide tail and a polar carbohydrate or ‘glycan’ head.

Diet-Induced Changes in Spectrum Patterns of Serum Gangliosides in 6-Month-Old Infants
Human milk contains higher levels of gangliosides than infant formula. Gangliosides play a role in neuronal growth, migration and maturation, sinaptogenesis, and myelination.

Specific synthesis of neurostatin and gangliosides O-acetylated in the outer sialic acids using a sialate transferase. [PDF]
Gangliosides are sialic acid containing glycosphingolipids, commonly found on the outer leaflet of the plasma membrane. O-acetylation of sialic acid hydroxyl groups is one of the most common modifications in gangliosides.

Recovery of gangliosides from aqueous solutions on styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer columns1
An investigation was made using a styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer as a solid phase sorbent to recover gangliosides from aqueous solutions. A comparison with octadecyl-bonded (C18) silica gel showed that the general procedure used to purify gangliosides ...

Neuropathophysiological potential of Guillain-Barré syndrome anti-ganglioside-complex antibodies at mouse motor nerve terminals [PDF]
Objectives: Anti-ganglioside antibodies are present in approximately half of Guillain–Barré syndrome (GBS) patients. Recently, it has been shown that a considerable proportion of these patients has serum antibodies against antigenic epitopes formed by a

Anti-inflammatory role of GM1 and other gangliosides on microglia
Background Gangliosides are glycosphingolipids highly enriched in the brain, with important roles in cell signaling, cell-to-cell communication, and immunomodulation.
