Levels of anti-GM1 antibodies are especially elevated in patients with prodromal diarrhea. [7] Titers to GM1 in other diseases (rheumatoid arthritis, primary Sjögren's syndrome and systemic lupus erythematosus) was also elevated. [8] Additionally highly significant association was found with rheumatoid arthritis and peripheral neuropathies. [9]
Antibodies to GM1 are increased in Guillain–Barré syndrome, dementia and lupus but their function is not clear. [4] There is some evidence to suggest antibodies against GM1 are associated with diarrhea in Guillain–Barré syndrome. [5] GM1 antibodies are also seen in Multifocal Motor Neuropathy (MMN), a rare antibody-mediated inflammatory ...
The GM1 gangliosidoses, usually shortened to GM1, are gangliosidoses caused by mutation in the GLB1 gene resulting in a deficiency of beta-galactosidase.The deficiency causes abnormal storage of acidic lipid materials in cells of the central and peripheral nervous systems, but particularly in the nerve cells, resulting in progressive neurodegeneration.
An autoantibody is an antibody (a type of protein) produced by the immune system that is directed against one or more of the individual's own proteins. Many autoimmune diseases (notably lupus erythematosus ) are associated with such antibodies.
Structure of GM1 ganglioside. A ganglioside is a molecule composed of a glycosphingolipid (ceramide and oligosaccharide) with one or more sialic acids (e.g. N-acetylneuraminic acid, NANA) linked on the sugar chain.

For the cholera toxin, the principal glycolipid receptor for the cholera toxin is ganglioside GM1. [20] After endocytosis to the Golgi apparatus, the toxin is redirected to the endoplasmic reticulum. [5] In order for the A subunit to reach its target, a disulfide bond between the A1 and A2 domain must be broken.
Antibody testing, such as anti-Hu or collapsing response mediator protein, can aid in the identification of paraneoplastic patients. [ 1 ] One should rule out Guillain-Barré syndrome if the patient exhibits acute or subacute autonomic instability accompanied by weakness , as this condition frequently results in ileus , constipation , and blood ...
