FEBS Open Bio, 2023 Intracellular organelles carry out many of their functions by engaging in extensive interorganellar communication through specialized membrane contact sites (MCSs) formed where two organelles tether to each other or to the plasma membrane (PM) without ...

Role of Globotriaosylceramide in Physiology and Pathology
Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2022 At first glance, the biological function of globoside (Gb) clusters appears to be that of glycosphingolipid (GSL) receptors for bacterial toxins that mediate host-pathogen interaction.

Glycosphingolipid Functions [PDF]
Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology, 2011 The combination of carbohydrate and lipid generates unusual molecules in which the two distinctive halves of the glycoconjugate influence the function of each other. Membrane glycolipids can act as primary receptors for carbohydrate binding proteins to mediate transmembrane signaling despite restriction to the outer bilayer leaflet.

Micellar properties of glycosphingolipids in aqueous media.
Journal of Lipid Research, 1984 The aggregation properties of neutral glycosphingolipids and gangliosides were investigated by ultracentrifugal sedimentation and gel permeation chromatography. Initially, glycosphingolipids in buffer formed high molecular aggregates.

Glycosphingolipids: synthesis and functions [PDF]
FEBS Journal, 2013 Glycosphingolipids (GSLs) comprise a heterogeneous group of membrane lipids formed by a ceramide backbone covalently linked to a glycan moiety. Hundreds of different glycans can be linked to tens of different ceramide molecules, giving rise to an astonishing variety of structurally different compounds, each of which has the potential for a specific ...

The Role of Glycosphingolipids in Immune Cell Functions
Frontiers in Immunology, 2019 Glycosphingolipids (GSLs) exhibit a variety of functions in cellular differentiation and interaction. Also, they are known to play a role as receptors in pathogen invasion. A less well-explored feature is the role of GSLs in immune cell function which is

Biochemical studies on sphingolipids of Artemia franciscana: novel neutral glycosphingolipids[S]
Journal of Lipid Research, 2011 Neutral glycosphingolipids containing one to six sugars in their oligosaccharide chains have been isolated from cysts of the brine shrimp Artemia franciscana.

Determination of long-chain base in glycosphingolipids with fluorescamine
Journal of Lipid Research, 1974 A method is described for determining the longchain base content of glycosphingolipids after acid hydrolysis, using the new reagent fluorescamine. The reaction is sensitive and can be used to characterize or measure glycosphingolipids in quantities ...
