AdipoGen Ganglioside GM1 . sodium salt (5 mg)
Supplier: AdipoGen AGCN29000M005
Chemical. CAS: 37758-47-7. Formula: C73H130N3O31 . Na. MW: 1545.8 . 23.0 (calculated on sphingosine C18:1 and stearic acid). Isolated from bovine brain. Ganglioside GM1 is a major sialoglycolipid of neuronal membranes that modulates calcium homeostasis and which is important for neuronal plasticity and repair mechanisms. It binds to cholera toxin B subunit, resulting in stimulation of adenylyl cyclase in a wide variety of cell types. After cholera toxin binds to membrane associated Monosialoganglioside GM1, the A subunit of cholera toxin is translocated to the cell interior, where it catalyzes the ADP ribosylation of the membrane associated Gs subunit of adenylyl cyclase. In addition, binding of cholera toxin to monosialoganglioside GM1 causes translocation of NF-kappaB and activation of dendritic cells. E. coli heat-labile enterotoxin (LT) is structurally and functionally similar to cholera toxin and binds GM1 as well.
