General description

Ganglioside GQ1b is a ganglioside, which contains tetra-sialosyl group and a disialosyl group attached to the internal galactose. Ganglioside is a glycosphingolipid and is localized in the cell membrane and mammalian brain. It is attached to the external leaflet of the lipid bilayer via a ceramide moiety.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Gangliosides are involved in several neurophysiological functions, such as synaptogenesis, synaptic transmission, neurogenesis and proliferation.
