C18 Ganglioside GM1 (d18:1/18:0) ammonium salt

Ganglioside GM1, a monosialylated ganglioside and the prototypical ganglioside, contains a single sialic acid residue. C18 Ganglioside GM1 is predominantly located in the brain, especially in the piriform cortex, amygdala nucleus, striatum, and hippocampal CA1 region. The C18 ganglioside GM1 (d20:1/18:0) to (d18:1/18:0) ratio is reduced in the outer molecular layer of the hippocampal dentate gyrus in Alzheimer's disease patients' postmortem tissue. Since this product is naturally sourced, variations in the sphingoid backbone may occur. [Matreya, LLC.]
