Ganglioside GD3 disodium salt 

Ganglioside GD3 disodium salt is an acidic glycosphingolipid. Ganglioside GD3 disodium salt inhibits the proliferation of cancer cells, affects the opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (PTPC), induces apoptosis and activates caspase family. Ganglioside GD3 disodium salt can be used in research about cancer and neurodegenerative diseases^[1].

Ganglioside GD3 is highly expressed in melanomas in comparison with melanocytes, is exclusively expressed in the early developmental stage of the fetal brain, and is highly expressed in activated T lymphocytes and in T cell malignant tumor cells suggest that GD3 is involved in tumor phenotypes, such as enhanced proliferation and frequent metastasis^[2].
