Preparation of lyso-GM1 (II3Neu5AcGgOse4-long chain bases) by a one-pot reaction.

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1992
A simple procedure is described for preparing lyso-GM1, a GM1 derivative that lacks the fatty acid moiety, starting from GM1 ganglioside using a one-pot reaction. Ganglioside deacylation was carried out in KOH/propan-1-ol in the absence of oxygen.

GM1 and GM2 gangliosides: recent developments

open access: yesBiomolecular Concepts, 2014
GM1 and GM2 gangliosides are important components of the cell membrane and play an integral role in cell signaling and metabolism. In this conceptual overview, we discuss recent developments in our understanding of the basic biological functions of GM1 ...

Ingenious Action of Vibrio cholerae Neuraminidase Recruiting Additional GM1 Cholera Toxin Receptors for Primary Human Colon Epithelial Cells

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2022
For five decades it has been known that the pentamer of B subunits (choleragenoid) of the cholera toxin (CT) of Vibrio cholerae binds with high preference to the ganglioside GM1 (II3Neu5Ac-Gg4Cer).

Preclinical Enzyme Replacement Therapy with a Recombinant β-Galactosidase-Lectin Fusion for CNS Delivery and Treatment of GM1-Gangliosidosis

open access: yesCells, 2022
GM1-gangliosidosis is a catastrophic, neurodegenerative lysosomal storage disease caused by a deficiency of lysosomal β-galactosidase (β-Gal). The primary substrate of the enzyme is GM1-ganglioside (GM1), a sialylated glycosphingolipid abundant in ...

Synthetic GM1 improves motor and memory dysfunctions in mice with monoallelic or biallelic disruption of GM3 synthase

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, 2023
This study attempts to answer the question of whether mice with biallelic and monoallelic disruption of the St3gal5 (GM3 synthase) gene might benefit from GM1 replacement therapy.

Conformational Change of Amyloid-β 40 in Association with Binding to GM1-Glycan Cluster

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2019
Aggregates of amyloid-β (Aβ) peptide are well known to be the causative substance of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Recent studies showed that monosialotetrahexosylganglioside (GM1) clusters induce the pathological aggregation of Aβ peptide responsible for ...

Uptake and metabolism of exogenous gangliosides by cultured cells: effect of choleragen on the turnover of GM1.

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1983
When added to the culture medium, 3H-labeled GM1 (tritiated predominantly in the terminal galactose residue) was taken up by murine NCTC 2071 and rat glioma C6 cells, both of which are GM1-deficient. Upon incubating the labeled cells in fresh medium, the

Anti-Inflammatory Effects of GM1 Ganglioside on Endotoxin-Induced Uveitis in Rats

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2022
Exogenous ganglioside GM1 has been reported to exert an immunomodulatory effect. We investigated the anti-inflammatory effect of GM1 ganglioside on endotoxin-induced uveitis (EIU) in rats and RAW 264.7 macrophages.
