Ganglioside GM1 is a monosialylated ganglioside and the prototypic ganglioside for those containing one sialic acid residue.{31218,52660} It is found in a large variety of cells, including immune cells and neurons, and is enriched in lipid rafts in the cell membrane.{53951} It associates with growth factor receptors, including TrkA, TrkB, and the GDNF receptor complex containing Ret and GFR?, and is required for TrkA expression on the cell surface. Ganglioside GM1 interacts with other proteins to increase calcium influx, affecting various calcium-dependent processes, including inducing neuronal outgrowth during differentiation. Ganglioside GM1 acts as a receptor for cholera toxin, which binds to its oligosaccharide group, facilitating toxin cell entry into epithelial cells of the jejunum.{53952,53953} Similarly, it is bound by the heat-labile enterotoxin from E. coli in the pathogenesis of traveler’s diarrhea.{53954} Ganglioside GM1 sensitizes inactivated T cells to TNF-?-induced apoptosis and induces apoptosis of activated T cells even in the absence of TNF-?.{52850} Ganglioside GM1 is found at higher levels on T cells isolated from patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) compared with T cells from patients without cancer. Levels of ganglioside GM1 are decreased in the substantia nigra pars compacta in postmortem brain from patients with Parkinson’s disease.{53951} Ganglioside GM1 gangliosidosis, characterized by a deficiency in GM1-?-galactosidase, the enzyme that degrades ganglioside GM1, leads to accumulation of the gangliosides GM1 and GA1 in neurons and can be fatal in infants.{31218} This product contains ganglioside GM1 molecular species with primarily C18:0 fatty acyl chain lengths. As this product is derived from a natural source, there may be variations in the sphingoid backbone. [Matreya, LLC. Catalog No. 1061]

Cayman Chemical’s mission is to help make research possible by supplying scientists worldwide with the basic research tools necessary for advancing human and animal health. Our utmost commitment to healthcare researchers is to offer the highest quality products with an affordable pricing policy.
Our scientists are experts in the synthesis, purification, and characterization of biochemicals ranging from small drug-like heterocycles to complex biolipids, fatty acids, and many others. We are also highly skilled in all aspects of assay and antibody development, protein expression, crystallization, and structure determination.
Over the past thirty years, Cayman developed a deep knowledge base in lipid biochemistry, including research involving the arachidonic acid cascade, inositol phosphates, and cannabinoids. This knowledge enabled the production of reagents of exceptional quality for cancer, oxidative injury, epigenetics, neuroscience, inflammation, metabolism, and many additional lines of research.
Our organic and analytical chemists specialize in the rapid development of manufacturing processes and analytical methods to carry out clinical and commercial GMP-API production. Pre-clinical drug discovery efforts are currently underway in the areas of bone restoration and repair, muscular dystrophy, oncology, and inflammation. A separate group of Ph.D.-level scientists are dedicated to offering Hit-to-Lead Discovery and Profiling Services for epigenetic targets. Our knowledgeable chemists can be contracted to perform complete sample analysis for analytes measured by the majority of our assays. We also offer a wide range of analytical services using LC-MS/MS, HPLC, GC, and many other techniques.
