Abstract excerpt
Gangliosides are expressed on plasma membranes throughout the body and enriched in the nervous system. A critical role for complex a- and b-series gangliosides in central and peripheral nervous system ageing has been established through transgenic manipulation of enzymes in ganglioside biosynthesis. Disrupting GalNAc-transferase (GalNAc-T), thus eliminating all a- and b-series complex gangliosides (with...
