General description
Gangliosides are glycosphingolipids, that contain sialic acid residues in the glycan chain. They are mainly present on the surface of neuronal cells. Gangliosides are also present in serum. Four complex ganglioside structures, such as GM1, GD1a, GD1b and GT1b are the most abundantly found ganglioside in mammalian brains. Gangliosides comprise a ceramide tail attached to a polar carbohydrate head.
Application
Ganglioside-Total may be used:
- as a standard to investigate the efficiency of ganglioside extraction in brain using electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (ESI MS) analysis
- as a hemagglutinin (HA) binding receptor to assemble nanodisc with affinity to influenza virus (NDTG) and also to determine the effect of total ganglioside extract (TG) amount on total ganglioside
- in liposomes to measure ostreolysin A (OlyA) binding in order to deduce the effects of phosphatidylcholines (PCs) on sphingomyelin
Biochem/physiol Actions
Gangliosides regulate various biological activities in cell plasma membranes (PMs). It provides structural rigidity to the cell. Ganglioside clusters form membrane microdomains, which facilitates cell adhesion. It also functions as differentiating markers during oncogenesis, embryogenesis, lymphoid differentiation and neoplastic transformation. Gangliosides have the ability to repress cell-mediated immune functions. It is also associated with cancer and Alzheimer′s disease.

Sum-frequency vibrational spectroscopy (SFVS) is used to measure the intrinsic rate of lipid flip-flop for 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DMPC), 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC), and 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DSPC) in planar-supported lipid bilayers (PSs). Asymmetric PSLBs were prepared using the Langmuir-Blodgett/Langmuir-Schaefer method by placing a perdeuterated lipid
