Ganglioside depletion and EGF responses of human GM3 synthase-deficient fibroblasts.

Abstract excerpt

Recognition of important roles of gangliosides in normal and abnormal cell function has motivated pharmacological modification of cellular ganglioside content. However, constitutive depletion of gangliosides in untransformed human cells has not been reported. In this context, the recent identification of a kindred carrying a point mutation in the GM3 synthase [ST3Gal5, Siat9] gene (Simpson MA, Cross H, Proukakis...
