Notes: Asialo ganglioside GM1 is a component of cellular lipid rafts and can be formed by the cleavage of the sialic acid residue from ganglioside GM1 (Item No. 19579) by neuraminidase.{25489,37774} Asialo ganglioside GM1 is a glycolipid receptor for P. aeruginosa flagellin and stimulates defensive responses in host cells, including extracellular ATP release, calcium mobilization, and ERK1/2 phosphorylation when stimulated by flagellin and an anti-asialo ganglioside GM1 antibody.{25488} The percentage of asialo ganglioside GM1-positive natural killer (NK) and CD8+ T cells in lung is increased in a mouse model of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection compared with healthy animals.{25489} Depletion of asialo ganglioside GM1-positive NK and T cells reduces IFN-γ levels in the lung, reduces weight loss, and increases lung viral load in RSV-infected mice. 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. 1064]
