- GM2-oligosaccharide (sodium salt) is a trisaccharide (GalNAcβ1,4Galβ1,4Glc) with sialic acid linked α2,3 to the central galactose residue (Ledeen, 2009). The parent GM2 ganglioside is present on neuronal cells and plays a key role in the regulation of dendritogenesis in cortical pyramidal neurons. In lysosomal storage disorders, such as, Tay-Sachs and Sandhoff disease, where hexosaminases A and B are deficient, GM2 ganglioside accumulates in the nervous system (Cachon-Gonzalez, 2018). GM2 ganglioside is also overexpressed in melanomas and other tumors of neuro-ecto origin (Yoshida, 2020). Moreover, the sugar moiety of GM2 ganglioside is a receptor allowing viral infection of cells with reovirus and rotavirus (Zhu, 2018).
