Gangliosides are major constituents of neuronal cell membranes and endoplasmic reticulum; contain a sialated 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.

Degraded form of Asialoganglioside-GM1 ganglioside.
International journal of food microbiology, 90(3), 357-362 (2004-01-31)
We examined binding of Bifidobacterium bifidum and Lactobacillus reuteri to the carbohydrate moieties of glycolipids extracted from human enterocyte-like Caco-2 cells in this study. In binding assays to reference glycolipids of different carbohydrate compositions, B. bifidum EB102 bound strongly to
Biochemical and biophysical research communications, 217(3), 733-740 (1995-12-26)
Regulation of "a" and "asialo" series ganglioside biosynthesis was analyzed. COS-1 cells expressing only GD1a showed high synthetic activities of GM3, GM2, GM1a, and GD1a, but little activity for GA2 synthesis. However, IL-3-dependent murine NFS60-I7, which has GM1b and GD1

Thirteen clinical strains of Haemophilus influenzae, including types b, d, and untypeable, in vitro specifically recognize phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), gangliotetraosylceramide, gangliotriosylceramide (Gg3), sulfatoxygalactosylceramide, and to a lesser extent sulfatoxygalactosylglycerol. A PE affinity matrix was used to purify an adhesin of approximately
The quality of tissue imaging by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) depends on the effectiveness of the matrix deposition, especially for lipids that may dissolve in the solvent used for the matrix application. This article describes the use of

Specific binding between bacterial cells and host tissue is an early step of the pathogenesis of infection. Burkholderia pseudomallei cells, the causative micro-organisms of melioidosis, were demonstrated to bind specifically to tissue glycolipids (asialo GM1 and asialo GM2) by solid
