Ganglioside GT1b is a trisialoganglioside that is characterized by having two sialic residues linked to the inner galactose unit. It binds to the neurotoxins botulinum toxin serotype A (BTxA), BTxA heavy chain, and tetanus toxin with IC50 values of 11, 0.74, and 7.2 μM, respectively.{37775} Ganglioside GT1b-containing liposomes bind to the major coat protein VP1 from Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV), which has been identified in Merkel cell carcinomas, identifying ganglioside GT1b as a putative MCPyV receptor.{25480} Ganglioside GT1b decreases spontaneous production of IL-6, IL-10, IgG, IgM, and IgA in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) by 31.4, 30.5, 60, 59.5, and 58%, respectively, when used at a concentration of 10 μM.{25482} Ganglioside GT1b mixture contains porcine ganglioside GT1b molecular species with primarily C18:0 fatty acyl chain lengths, as well as a lower amount of C20:0 fatty acyl chain lengths, among various others.[Matreya, LLC.

Description

A mixture of porcine ganglioside GT1b with primarily C18:0 fatty acyl chain lengths, as well as a lower amount of C20:0 fatty acyl chain lengths, among various others; characterized by having two sialic residues linked to the inner galactose unit; binds to the neurotoxins BTxA, BTxA heavy chain, and tetanus toxin (IC50s = 11, 0.74, and 7.2 μM, respectively); ganglioside GT1b-containing liposomes can bind to the major coat protein VP1 from MCPyV; a putative MCPyV receptor; decreases spontaneous production of IL-6, IL-10, IgG, IgM, and IgA in human PBMCs by 31.4, 30.5, 60, 59.5, and 58%, respectively, at 10 μM
