Description

Gangliosidepentaosylceramide CAS NO 106828-81-3 is a complex glycosphingolipid, specifically a ganglioside, characterized by a pentasaccharide head group attached to a ceramide lipid tail. This compound is of significant interest in biochemical and biomedical research due to its role as a cell membrane component and its involvement in cellular recognition, signaling, and pathogen binding. It serves as a critical standard and reagent for scientists in the fields of glycobiology, neuroscience, and immunology, enabling the study of lipid rafts, neuronal development, and host-pathogen interactions.

Application

• Biochemical Research Standard: Used as a high-purity reference standard for the identification and quantification of gangliosides in analytical methods like HPLC and mass spectrometry.
• Neuroscience Studies: Employed in research on neuronal cell membranes, synaptic function, and the mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases.
• Immunology and Virology: Applied in studies investigating gangliosides as receptors for bacterial toxins (e.g., cholera toxin) and certain viruses.
• Cell Biology: Utilized to study the structure and function of lipid rafts and glycosphingolipid-enriched microdomains in cell membranes.
• Diagnostic Development: Acts as a key antigen or coating material in the development of immunoassays and diagnostic kits targeting ganglioside-related biomarkers.
• Pharmaceutical R&D: Serves as a starting material or intermediate in the research and development of novel therapeutic agents, including cancer vaccines and neuroprotective drugs.
