Gangliotriose

Asialo-GM2-trisaccharide

Gangliotriose is a specific trisaccharide that is a key component of various gangliosides, a class of glycolipids found primarily on the surface of nerve cells. Its structure is Gal(β1-3)GalNAc(β1-4)Gal. This compound is a fundamental building block for the synthesis of more complex gangliosides and is involved in cell-cell recognition and signaling in the nervous system.
