Sphingolipids-Their Metabolic Pathways and the Pathobiochemistry of Neurodegenerative Diseases

Thomas Kolter et al. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl. .

Abstract

Glycolipids such as ganglioside GM1 are involved in the building of carbohydrate layers on the surface of living cells. The investigation of the metabolism of this class of compounds gives insight into human diseases, novel signal transduction processes, and the epidermal water permeability barrier.

Keywords: Diseases; Enzyme inhibitors; Glycolipids; Glycosidases; Sphingolipids.
