Gangliosides are a large subclass of glycosphingolipids that structurally characterized by the addition of mono- or poly-sialyated carbohydrate moieties onto the ceramide scaffold. They are presented at significant abundance in the central nervous system of vertebrates. Their interactions with trans-membrane receptors, especially receptor tyrosine kinase, are believed to play critical roles in modulating signal transduction events during cell proliferation, differentiation, migration, and adhesion. Furthermore, the disruption and dysfunction on their metabolism have been found to be associated with various neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer disease, Parkinson’s disease, and GM3 synthase deficiency. GM3 synthase deficiency (GSD) is a newly identified neurological …
