Description

Lactogangliotetraosylceramide CAS NO 107221-01-2 is a complex glycosphingolipid, specifically a ganglioside, that plays a crucial role in cellular recognition and signaling processes. This high-purity biochemical is essential for advanced research and development in neurobiology, immunology, and membrane biophysics. It is primarily utilized by pharmaceutical R&D teams, academic research institutions, and diagnostic developers working on neurological disorders, cancer biomarkers, and vaccine adjuvants.

Application

• Neuroscience Research: Used as a standard or substrate in studies of neuronal development, synaptic function, and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
• Immunology & Vaccine Development: Investigated for its role in immune cell modulation and as a potential component in novel vaccine formulations targeting specific carbohydrate antigens.
• Cancer Research: Serves as a target or biomarker in studies of tumor cell surfaces, metastasis, and the development of antibody-based or cellular immunotherapies.
• Biochemical Reagent: Employed as a critical reagent in enzymatic assays, lipidomics studies, and the synthesis of more complex glycolipid structures.
• Cell Biology: Used to study cell membrane dynamics, lipid raft formation, and receptor-ligand interactions at the cellular surface.
• Diagnostic Development: Potential use in the development of diagnostic kits for autoimmune diseases or certain cancers where ganglioside expression is altered.
