GM1b-Oligosaccharide

Ref. 3D-OO46230

Product Information

• Name: GM1b-Oligosaccharide
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: GM1b pentasaccharide (sodium salt) has a core tetrasaccharide structure (Galβ1,3GalNAcβ1,4Galβ1,4Glc) with a single sialic acid residue linked α2,3 to the terminal galactose residue (Ledeen, 2009). GM1b oligosaccaharide is the carbohydrate moiety in GM1b ganglioside, which is a minor component of human brain monosialoganglioside fraction. GM1b ganglioside and especially anti-GM1b IgG antibodies are associated with axonal Guillain-Barré syndrome, which develops following C. jejuni infection (Yuki, 1999).
