It typically resides in the outer layer of the plasma membrane of neuronal cells contributing to the structural integrity and functionality of cell membranes. In comparison with ganglioside GM2 asialo GM2 lacks sialic acid which affects its interactions and functions at the cellular level.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nThis ganglioside plays an essential role in intercellular recognition and communication by participating in cell adhesion and signaling processes. It functions as part of glycoproduct complexes which impact the formation of signaling domains. These complexes influence synaptic stability and plasticity which are important for the functioning of the nervous system. Due to its structural properties asialo GM2 may also interact with proteins related to signaling pathways.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nAsialo GM2 influences neural signaling and development pathways. It associates with important cascade reactions including the PI3K\/AKT signaling pathway which affects cell survival and metabolism. Additionally it potentially interacts with other glycolipids and proteins like integrins which play parts in cell adhesion and signal transmission. This interaction can modulate how cells respond to extracellular signals and maintain homeostasis.\u003cbr\u003e\nAsialo GM2 relates notably to autoimmune neuropathies and neurodegenerative diseases. Anti-ganglioside antibodies targeting asialo GM2 may arise in conditions like Guillain-Barré syndrome an acute inflammatory disorder affecting the peripheral nervous system. These antibodies can damage neuronal gangliosides leading to nerve signal disruption. Additionally asialo GM2 may have impacts on the development of other neurodegenerative conditions where it interacts with neuropathy-associated proteins exacerbating disease progressions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46850081095849,"sku":"ab23942","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/abcam-ab23942","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
