    Product Description

    Ganglioside GD2 is a glycosphingolipid that contains two sialic acid residues linked to an inner galactose unit. It is frequently expressed on tumor cells of neuroectodermal origin, including neuroblastomas.1 This product contains ganglioside GD2 molecular species with primarily C18:0 fatty acyl chain lengths. As this product is derived from a natural source, there may be variations in the sphingoid backbone. [Matreya, LLC. Catalog No. 1527]
