General description

C11 TopFluor GM3 is a fluorescent analog of ganglioside GM3 (Siaa2-3Galb1-4Glcb1-1Cer).

Application

C11 TopFluor GM3 has been used to visualize GM3 present in UGCG-KO1.3 cells by immunofluorescence microscopy.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Gangliosides function as modulators in regulating various receptor functions, involved in transmembrane signaling. GM3 plays an important role as a metabolic precursor for the formation of more complex gangliosides. It comprises between 80% and 90% of total ganglioside content in liver and adipose tissue, respectively. Additionally, GM3 is known to promote the subcellular redistribution of major caveolin enriched microdomain (CEM) components coordinating signal transduction. The increased levels of ganglioside GM3 in serum is reported in hyperlipidaemic, hyperglycaemic and type 2 diabetic patients.

Gangliosides constitute a large family of sialic acid-containing glycosphingolipids which play a key regulatory role in a diverse array of cellular processes, including receptor-associated signalling. Accordingly, the aberrant production of the ganglioside GM3 has been linked to pathophysiological changes associated

Gangliosides are known as modulators of transmembrane signaling by regulating various receptor functions. We have found that insulin resistance induced by tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) in 3T3-L1 adipocytes was accompanied by increased GM3 ganglioside expression caused by elevating GM3 synthase

Much has been learned about the role of exofacial phosphatidylserine (PS) in apoptosis and blood clotting using annexin V. However, because annexins are impermeant and unable to bind PS at low calcium concentration, they are unsuitable for intracellular use. Thus
