Ganglioside GM2

Ganglioside GM2 is a lipid of Sphingolipids (SP) class. Ganglioside gm2 is associated with abnormalities such as Sensory neuropathy, Neuropathy, Autoimmune Diseases, Polyradiculoneuropathy, Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating and Neuromuscular Diseases. The involved functions are known as Pressure- physical agent, Cytolysis, Inflammation, Complement-Dependent Cytotoxicity and conjugation. Ganglioside gm2 often locates in Membrane, Entire nervous system, Cell surface, Biopsy sample and Lipid Bilayers. The associated genes with Ganglioside GM2 are anti-IgM, Polypeptides, Transgenes, Alleles and Homologous Gene. The related lipids are Ganglioside GA2, QS 21, sulfate-3-glucuronyl paragloboside, Lipopolysaccharides and IV(4)-galactosyl-N-acetylganglioside GD1a. The related experimental models are Disease model.
