Amino Acid Sequence

Cer-Glc-Gal-GalNAc-Gal

General description

Gangliosides are major constituents of neuronal cell membranes and endoplasmic reticulum; contain a sialylated polysaccharide chain linked to ceramide through a β-glycosidic linkage; for classification of gangliosides see Svennerholm, L., et al. (eds.), Structure and Function of Gangliosides, New York, Plenum, 1980.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Removing the sialic acid from monosialoganglioside GM1 inhibits its ability to bind cholera toxin. Asialoganglioside GM1 does not block the binding of cholera toxin to cellular GM1.

Since epithelial mucin 1 (MUC1) is associated with several adenocarcinomas at the mucosal sites, it is pertinent to test the efficacy of a mucosally targeted vaccine formulation. The B subunit of the Vibrio cholerae cholera toxin (CTB) has great potential

In the digestive tract of mice (HR-1, 5 months old, ♀), asialo GM1 (GA1) exhibiting receptor activity toward several intestinal bacteria was preferentially expressed in the small intestine. Also, less than 10% of GA1 in the small intestine was converted

Dendritic cell-based vaccines are useful for enhancing antitumor immunity. It has been suggested that propofol, an intravenous anesthetic, can enhance antitumor immunity in mice. We tested vaccine efficacy for eliciting antitumor immunity, using dendritic cells differentiated from bone marrow cells

NK cells are innate immune lymphocytes and play a key role in both innate and adaptive immunity. Their pivotal functions in vivo have been illustrated in mice by means of their ablation with NK cell-depleting Abs, particularly anti-asialo GM1 (ASGM1).

Specialized lymphocytes, called uterine Natural Killer (uNK) cells, appear in human and rodent uteri and become abundant at implantation sites during decidualization and early pregnancy. The hallmark of human uNK cells is intense expression of CD56, a neural cell adhesion
