Ganglioside GQ1b (bovine) sodium
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Ganglioside GQ1b (Tetrasialoganglioside GQ1b) (bovine) sodium is a central and peripheral nervous system ganglioside and an immunostimulator. Ganglioside GQ1b (bovine) sodium modulates NMDA receptor signaling via ERK1/2, PKA, CREB, NR2A, NR2B, and GSK3β, and increases BDNF expression. Ganglioside GQ1b (bovine) sodium reduces Aβ pathology, tau phosphorylation, and APP levels. Ganglioside GQ1b (bovine) sodium can be used for the research of Alzheimer’s disease.

In Vitro
Ganglioside GQ1b (0.01-10 μM; 1-12 h) sodium increases mRNA and protein expression of NMDA receptor subunits NR2A and NR2B in a time-dependent manner in H19-7 rat hippocampal cells[1].
Ganglioside GQ1b (0.01-10 μM; 12 h) sodium induces phosphorylation of CREB at Ser-133 in H19-7 rat hippocampal cells via the NMDA receptor signaling pathway[1].
Ganglioside GQ1b (1 μM; 12 h) sodium induces phosphorylation of PKA, ERK1/2, and CREB in H19-7 rat hippocampal cells via the NMDA receptor signaling pathway[1].
Ganglioside GQ1b (0.001-1 μM; 1-24 h) sodium upregulates BDNF expression in rat primary cortical neurons and restores oligomeric Aβ1-42 (HY-P1363A)-induced cell death via BDNF/TrkB signaling, while also reversing Aβ-induced BDNF reduction independent of TrkB inhibition[2].
Ganglioside GQ1b (0.01-10 μM; 1-24 h) sodium increases BDNF mRNA and protein expression in GQ1b-null SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells[3].
Ganglioside GQ1b (1 μM; 1-24 h) sodium increases BDNF mRNA and protein expression in rat primary cortical neurons via the NMDA receptor signaling pathway[3].
Ganglioside GQ1b (0.1-100 µmol/L; 1-6 days) sodium dose-dependently enhances spontaneous IgG, IgM, and IgA production by human PBMCs, without altering PBMC proliferation[6].
Ganglioside GQ1b (0.01-100 µmol/L; 24 h) sodium specifically enhances IL-6 and IL-10 production by purified human T cells, while having no effect on cytokine production by human monocytes, B cells, or overall PBMC production of IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-2, or IL-4[6].
