Ganglioside GM2 sodium salt（Cat No.:M004104） is a specific form of GM2 ganglioside, a glycosphingolipid with one sialic acid residue, prominent in neuronal cell membranes. This variant is stabilized by sodium ions, enhancing its solubility and making it suitable for various biomedical applications. GM2 plays crucial roles in cell signal transduction and neurodevelopment, and its accumulation in cells is linked to Tay-Sachs disease, a genetic disorder. In research, GM2 sodium salt is used to study its physiological functions and to develop treatments for related neurodegenerative diseases and disorders involving nerve cell dysfunction.
