Gangliotetraose

Gangliotetraose (Gg4), a tetrasccharide, predominantly comprises GM1 and its sialylated derivatives, which play a crucial role in modulating nuclear Ca2+ efflux and maintaining lower nuclear Ca2+ levels in differentiated neurons. Moreover, GM1 influences neuronal plasticity, repair mechanisms, and neurotrophin release in the brain [1] [2].
