GM3 ganglioside sugar（Cat No.:R068465）is the carbohydrate moiety of GM3, the simplest member of the ganglioside family—glycosphingolipids containing sialic acid. Composed of a ceramide lipid linked to a trisaccharide chain (glucose, galactose, and sialic acid), GM3 plays a critical role in cell signaling, membrane organization, and immune modulation. It is abundant in the outer leaflet of plasma membranes, particularly in neural and immune tissues. The sugar portion is essential for interactions with proteins such as growth factor receptors, influencing processes like cell adhesion, migration, and inflammation, and is a key focus in glycobiology research.
