C18:3-GM1a induces apoptosis in Neuro2a cells: enzymatic remodeling of fatty acyl chains of glycosphingolipids

GM1a [Galβ1-3GalNAcβ1-4(NeuAcα2-3)Galβ1-4Glcβ1-1Cer] is known to support and protect neuronal functions. However, we report that α-linolenic acid-containing GM1a (C18:3-GM1a), which was prepared using the reverse hydrolysis reaction of sphingolipid ceramide N-deacylase, induced apoptosis in neuronal...
