GM3 Ganglioside Linked to Neurofibrillary Pathology in a Transgenic Rat Model for Tauopathy

Glycosphingolipids (GSLs) are amphipathic lipids composed of a sphingoid base and a fatty acyl attached to a saccharide moiety. GSLs play an important role in signal transduction, directing proteins within the membrane, cell recognition, and modulation of cell adhesion. Gangliosides and sulfatides b...
