Notes: Ganglioside GD1a is a sialic acid-containing glycosphingolipid that has been found in brain, erythrocytes, bone marrow, testis, spleen, and liver, as well as in serum lipoproteins.{54332,54333} It is shed into the tumor microenvironment from the surface of tumor cells, where it influences tumor-host cell interactions to promote tumor cell proliferation, invasion, and metastasis.{25490} It functions as a toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) co-receptor in isolated human monocytes, colocalizing with TLR2 and enhancing the binding of type IIb E. coli enterotoxin (LT-IIb-B5) to TLR2 when used at a concentration of 20 µM.{25484} Ganglioside GD1a (20 µM) increases VEGF-induced proliferation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), as well as induces vascularization in a Matrigel™ plug assay in mice when used at a concentration of 20 µM/plug.{25490} It accumulates in the CNS of patients with galactosialidosis, a lysosomal storage disorder.{43703} This product contains ganglioside GD1a 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. 1062]
