Globotriaosylceramide (Gb3, CD77) represents a pivotal part of the cell membrane. Measuring the urinary Gb3 content can be used to screen patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) for Fabry disease, a disorder caused by hampered Gb3 degradation. However, little is known about factors influencing urinary Gb3 excretion other than Fabry disease.

Evaluation of the urinary globotriaosylceramide (Gb3) assay by tandem mass spectrometry
Fabry disease (FD) is an X-linked lysosomal storage disorder resulting from a deficiency of α-galactosidase A, which leads to the progressive accumulation of one biomarker, globotriaosylceramide (Gb3), prominently elevated in the urine of affected patients.

Possible binding sites for the glycolipid globotriaosylceramide (Gal alpha 1-->4Gal beta 1-->4Glc beta 1-->1 Cer; Gb3) on the B-subunits of verotoxin-1 (VT1) were explored using binding data for specifically mutated verotoxins and by computational docking of favoured conformers of Gb3 with the crystal structure of VT1.

Fabry disease is an X-linked disorder that results from the deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme alpha-galactosidase A. The defect leads to the accumulation of globotriaosylceramide (Gb3). The detection of Gb3 accumulated in different tissues may help in the diagnosis and enzyme replacement therapy monitoring.

Falsely elevated urinary Gb3 (globotriaosylceramide, CTH, GL3)
and C17-Gb3 as internal standards. Ten microliters are injected into a UPLC-MS/MS for the simultaneous determination of creatinine and Gb3. Urine of 100 healthy subjects from newborns to 65 years old was analyzed. The concentration of creatinine in urine varied widely due to diet or age: from less then 1 lmol/mL in infants and some adults to higher ...
