In vitro effect of globotriaosylceramide on electron transport chain complexes and redox parameters
: Fabry disease (FD) is an X-linked inherited disease and occurs due to mutations in GLA gene that encodes the α-galactosidase enzyme. Consequently, there is an accumulation of enzyme substrates, namely globotriaosylceramide (GB3).

Globotriaosylceramide, Gb3, is an alternative functional receptor for Shiga-like toxin 2e [PDF]
We reexamined the binding specificity of the Shiga-like toxin variant associated with porcine edema disease, SLT2e, which is reported to be more cytotoxic for Vero cells than for HeLa cells, by using receptor-deficient cells and a liposomal insertion system for purified glycolipids.

The effects of globotriaosylceramide tail saturation level on bilayer phases
The globotriaosylceramide acyl chains from one leaflet interdigitate into the opposing leaflet and lead to significant bilayer rigidification and immobilisation of the lipid tails. Globotriaosylceramide with saturated acyl chains can form a highly ordered, relatively immobile phase which is resistant to bending.

BACKGROUND In males with classic Fabry disease, the processes leading to the frequent outcome of ESKD are poorly understood. Defects in the gene encoding α-galactosidase A lead to accumulation of globotriaosylceramide (GL3) in various cell types.

Risk of Death in Heart Disease is Associated With Elevated Urinary Globotriaosylceramide [PDF]
Background Elevated urinary globotriaosylceramide (Gb 3 ) has been considered a hallmark of F abry disease, an X‐linked lysosomal disorder that is a risk factor for most types of heart disease.

Fabry disease in W162C mutation: a case report of two patients and a review of literature [PDF]
Background Fabry disease is a multisystemic disorder characterized by deposition of globotriaosylceramide (Gb3) and its deacylated form in multiple organs, sometimes localized in specific systems such as the nervous or cardiovascular system.

Glucosylceramide synthase inhibition with lucerastat lowers globotriaosylceramide and lysosome staining in cultured fibroblasts from Fabry patients with different mutation types [PDF]
Fabry disease is an X-linked lysosomal storage disorder caused by mutations in the GLA gene coding for α-galactosidase A (α-GalA). The deleterious mutations lead to accumulation of α-GalA substrates, including globotriaosylceramide (Gb3) and ...
