Beschreibung

GD1a (shown as sodium salt) is one of the major gangliosides in neuronal and glial membranes. It has a core tetrasaccharide structure (Galβ1,3GalNAcβ1,4Galβ1,4Glc) with sialic acids linked α2,3/α2,8 to the inner galactose residue, α2,3 to the outer galactose residue and ceramide linked β to position 1 on the reducing terminal glucose residue (Ledeen, 2009). It interacts with myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG) and is essential for long-term axon-myelin stability. It plays a role in viral infection as it is a receptor for viral glycoproteins in rotavirus and paramyxovirus 1. The hexasaccharide GD1a moiety was also found on a glycoprotein that acts as a receptor for adenovirus type 37. GD1a ganglioside also interacts with botulinum neurotoxin and is crucial for its entry into cells (Kolter, 2012).
