Abstract

Sialylated glycosphingolipids, known as gangliosides, are highly expressed in the central nervous system exhibiting region-specific composition in correlation to the specialised functions of particular brain regions. In the present study high resolution tandem mass spectrometry on a quadrupole time-of-flight instrument with nanoelectrospray was optimised and applied for the first comparative assessment of the ganglioside profile in single specimens of adult human motor and somatosensory cortex. In the second stage, the structural analysis performed by collision induced dissociation tandem MS disclosed the presence in motor cortex of a fucose-ganglioside Fuc-GM1 (d18 : 1/20 : 0) isomer exhibiting both N-acetylneuraminic acid and fucose residues linked to the inner galactose.
