Gangliosides are in the category of glycosphingolipids and are found predominately in neuronal tissues. Gangliosides consist of sialic acid linked to a sugar (glucose, galactose, GalNAc, GlcNAc and/or fructose) backbone attached to a ceramide base. These gangliosides make up approximately 10% of a neuron’s total lipid content and like other lipids | Gangliosides are in the category of glycosphingolipids and are found predominately in neuronal tissues.
